5c Carmine Rose, Pair, One Without "5 Cents" (J93a). Mint N.H. block of four with selvage at left, containing two pairs of the error, excellent centering, bright and crisp

VERY FINE AND RARE MARGIN BLOCK OF FOUR OF THE 5-CENT 1959 POSTAGE DUE DENOMINATION MISSING ERROR.

If Scott Retail values reflect the relative rarity of the various 1959 Postage Due denomination-omitted errors (and a review using Power Search indicates it does), then this is the rarest of all the errors. We have offered only one other example (a pair) since keeping computerized records more than 25 years ago.

With 1994 P.F. certificate. Scott Retail as two pairs is low considering the only other pair we have offered realized $1,500 hammer in 2010
