Sale 1156, Lot 3893, U.S. Possessions incl. HawaiiRYUKYU ISLANDS, 1960, 9c on 4y Brown, Air Post, Surcharge Transposed (C19c). Mint N.H. block of four with bottom selvage, additional "9c" printed in selvage

EXTREMELY FINE. A RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED BLOCK OF FOUR WITH ADDITIONAL SURCHARGE IN THE SELVAGE.

This error came about due to an 8.5mm downward shift in the overprinting of a single sheet, thus reversing the order of the lines of the surcharge. This bottom selvage block beautifully demonstrates this error.

With 2014 P.S.E. certificate. Scott Retail as singles.
