2c Carmine Rose, Ty. III, Rotary Perf 11 x 10, Vertical Pair, Imperforate Horizontally (540a). Mint N.H. top plate no. 13740 block of six, choice centering on post-office fresh paper

VERY FINE. A RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED PLATE BLOCK OF SIX OF SCOTT 540a, IMPERFORATE HORIZONTALLY.

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 this issue (a plate block of 90).
