30c Orange (38). Block of four, original gum, h.r., radiant color as fresh as the day it was printed, few minor internal perf separations affect top stampsFINE. A SCARCE ORIGINAL-GUM BLOCK OF FOUR OF THE 30-CENT 1860 ISSUE.
This block clearly demonstrates why it is so difficult to find this issue with choice centering. The narrow space between subjects on the plate makes it almost impossible for the perforations to clear the design on all four sides.
