50c Violet (440). Wide top margin plate no. 7040 block of six, very lightly hinged, beautiful color, remarkably fresh and intact, choice centering

VERY FINE AND EXTREMELY RARE PLATE BLOCK OF THE 50-CENT PERF 10 WITH SINGLE-LINE WATERMARK.

The Scott 440 plate block in Shreves Wampler sale was a top margin, lightly-hinged block, but it was not nearly as well-centered as the example offered here (it realized $15,000 hammer). The superb lightly-hinged top plate block in our 2000 Rarities sale realized $35,000 hammer. This plate block falls somewhere in between.

With 1997 P.F. certificate
