2c Carmine, Cap on Left "2", Both "2" (220a, 220c). Block of four, left stamps with cap over left "2", right stamps with caps on both "2"'s, bottom stamps Mint N.H., top stamps narrow h.r. at top, intense shade and impression with the varieties clearly displayed on all stamps

VERY FINE-EXTREMELY FINE. AN INCREDIBLY RARE COMBINATION BLOCK SHOWING BOTH VARIETIES OF CAP OVER "2". A HIGHLY EXHIBITABLE ITEM.

According to Brookman, the varieties were caused by a breakdown of the metal of the transfer roll. There is only one plate of the dozens used which contains a combination of both varieties -- Plate 246.

Ex Golin, Blumenkopf and Floyd. With 1997 P.F. certificate. Scott Retail as singles does not reflect the rarity of this multiple -- the bottom combination pair with both varieties is Mint N.H.
