50c Parcel Post (Q10). Mint N.H. top plate no. 6427 and "FIFTY" block of four, rich color, the bottom pair particularly well-centered

VERY FINE-EXTREMELY FINE. A CHOICE AND EXTREMELY RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED TOP PLATE BLOCK OF THE 50-CENT PARCEL POST ISSUE.

This top plate block is extremely rare, particularly in this choice Mint N.H. condition. Incredibly, we have not offered another top position Mint N.H. plate block in any sale since 1993, apart from this block in our 2004 Rarities sale. The $2,500.00 Scott value for this plate block also seems out of date and inappropriate, given that the side plate block of six catalogues $24,000.00. In fact, four Mint N.H. singles are priced at $2,100.00 -- barely less than this plate block.

With 1999 P.F. certificate.
