$2.00 Dark Blue (312). Block of 18 in 6 x 3 format, registry oval cancels, deep rich color, natural s.e. at left, five stamps with few trivial creases, rejoined along vertical row of perfs at center, perf separations reinforced between stamps -- all to be expected in a used multiple of this sizeVERY FINE APPEARANCE. THIS IS THE LARGEST KNOWN USED MULTIPLE OF THE $2.00 1902 ISSUE.
An outstanding exhibition piece with incredible centering for such a large block of the $2.00 1902 Issue. Scott Retail as three blocks of four and six singles does not give a true indication of its rarity.
