This coil waste variety is normally collected as a plate block of four, which is also how it is listed in Scott. The plate block of six is much more desirable and is quite rare. Apart from a complete pane of 170, we have offered only one other Mint N.H. plate block of six of this issue, which had the plate number above the right stamp.
