Sale 1140, Lot 1020, Presidential Issue and Later Issues (Scott 832-4806)$2.00 Harding (833 var). Mint N.H. Black "Top", markers and vignette plate no. 23479 block of 20, without Yellow Green plate number or markers, selvage at sides, offset in selvage from another sheet with Black markers but no trace of Yellow Green, two vertical rows with gum skips

VERY FINE. THIS IS THE ONLY RECORDED $2.00 HARDING PLATE BLOCK WITH YELLOW GREEN PLATE NUMBER AND MARKINGS OMITTED. A GREAT RARITY OF THE PRESIDENTIAL ISSUE.

Roland Rustad's book The Prexies makes no mention of this variety, nor does the Durland catalog. The sheets with arrows at top were printed first, followed later by the non-arrow sheets, so this does not come from an early printing. Durland lists vignette plate number 23479 as having been used with each of the five recorded frame plate numbers (22122, 22123, 23477, 23478 and 24480). A normal sheet with Yellow Green markings in selvage may be seen in lot 1021.

With 1996 P.F. certificate
