Sale 958, Lot 645, 1902-08 Issues$2.00 Dark Blue (312). Block of eighteen (3 x 6), registry oval cancels, deep rich color, natural s.e. at left, five stamps with few trivial creases as one would expect on a used multiple of this size, rejoined along vertical row of perfs at center, perf separations reinforced between stamps -- all to be expected in a used multiple of this size

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. THIS IS THE LARGEST KNOWN USED MULTIPLE FOR THE $2.00 1902 ISSUE.

An outstanding exhibition piece with incredible centering for such a large block of the $2.00 1902 Issue. Scott Retail as three blocks of four and six singles does not give a true indication or its rarity.
