5c Blue, Panama-Pacific (399). Mint N.H. wide top plate no. 6138 block of six, intensely rich color, attractive centeringVERY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL AND RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED WIDE TOP PLATE BLOCK OF THE 5-CENT PANAMA-PACIFIC PERF 12 ISSUE.
The 5c Panama-Pacific Issue is very rare as a wide top plate block. A Power Search review found several wide bottom plate blocks, as well as some standard top plate blocks, but this is only the second wide top plate block in Mint N.H. condition we have offered since at least 1993.
