Sale 1242, Lot 161, Three-Cent: Dull Red and Shades, Types I, II (Scott 11-11A)3c Brownish Carmine, Type I (11). Mint N.H. block of four, pristine gum without the tiny disturbances often encountered on otherwise Mint N.H. examples of this issue, intense color and post office fresh, large margins to clear at all points

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. AN INCREDIBLY RARE SOUND, MINT NEVER-HINGED BLOCK OF THE 3-CENT 1851 TYPE I IN THE BROWNISH CARMINE SHADE. A SPECTACULAR SHOWPIECE.

A Power Search review found one irregular block of five that is never-hinged but with small gum disturbance spots. It is also cut into in several places. Other than that block and this one, we have sold no Mint N.H. blocks of Types I or II since at least 1993.

Ex Kirke. With 2011 P.F. and P.S.E. certificates (latter XF-Superb 95; blocks unpriced in SMQ). Scott value of $2,000.00 for a hinged block of four does not remotely convey the rarity of this Mint N.H. block.
