50c Violet (341). Top imprint and plate no. 341 block of six, bottom center stamp lightly hinged, others Mint N.H., radiant color and paper

VERY FINE. A RARE TOP PLATE NUMBER PLATE BLOCK OF SIX OF THE 50-CENT 1909 DOUBLE-LINE WATERMARK ISSUE, SCOTT 341.

Scott 341 was produced from only one plate, No. 4956, which had plate number blocks at top and bottom. A review using Power Search shows that most top position plate blocks have the selvage shortened to some degree -- only one other with wide top is contained in Power Search.

Top right selvage, top center and bottom left stamps with red backstamp.
