Like most of the Columbian stamps, the Trans-Mississippi Issue was printed from plates of 100 subjects and then divided into panes of 50 for packaging and sale at post offices. We have not offered an intact complete pane since keeping computerized records (a pane in our Sale 913 had one stamp replaced).
Scott Retail as Mint N.H. singles and hinged plate blocks (though the stamps in the plate block are Mint N.H.)
