FINE. THIS IS THE THIRD LARGEST RECORDED UNUSED MULTIPLE OF THE 12-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL ISSUE.

The Rose book on the 1869 Pictorial Issue notes eight unused blocks, including blocks of twelve (ex Col. Green and Rust), nine (ex Wunderlich and Ishikawa) and three blocks of six. We have offered two additional blocks of nine, in our 2009 and 2013 Rarities sales. Nearly all of the unused blocks are more or less off-center.

Scott value $18,000.00 as block of four and pair
