Top imprint, plate no. 59 and letter "N" at right block of eight, original gum with some mount glazing throughout, deep rich color and proof-like impression, choice centering, some perf separations at left

EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE PLATE BLOCK OF EIGHT OF THE 30-CENT COLUMBIAN ISSUE.

A Power Search review (which includes all of our Rarities sales) indicates that we have only sold approximately 14 plate blocks (of six or eight) plus a block of 18 containing two imprint and plate number multiples, which has probably been broken. Of these, several had thin spots or small tears. Most are not as well centered as the block offered here.

With clear 1992 P.F. certificate
