50c Orange (275). Mint N.H. wide top imprint and plate no. 75 strip of 10, half-arrow natural s.e. at left and corner selvage at right, representing the top row of the pane, vivid color, outstanding centering which is rarely found for an entire row

EXTREMELY FINE. A RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED 50-CENT 1895 BUREAU PLATE STRIP OF THE FULL TOP ROW OF THE RIGHT PANE.

This piece comes from an old-time collection and was most likely acquired by the previous owner through purchases at post offices in the late 1800's and early 1900's. As such it has been kept out of the light since 1895 and has never before appeared at auction. It contains remarkably choice examples of the 50c 1895, which is very difficult to obtain as a single in higher grades.
