10c Blue, Special Delivery (E2). Mint N.H. block of 25 comprising five rows of the pane, selvage at left and natural s.e. at right, numerous stamps with choice centering, exceptionally fresh with rich color

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. AN EXTREMELY RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED LARGE MULTIPLE OF THE SECOND SPECIAL DELIVERY ISSUE OF 1888. A STUNNING SHOWPIECE.

A review using Power Search shows just how rare this issue is as a Mint N.H. multiple in any size. We have sold only a single Mint N.H. block of four of E2 since 1993 and in all our Rarities sales since 1964. The existence of this large multiple is truly surprising.
