$1.00 Trans-Mississippi (292). Horizontal pair with wide top imprint and plate no. 606 selvage, original gum, stamps barely hinged, deep shade, fresh paperFINE-VERY FINE. A SPECTACULAR WIDE TOP IMPRINT AND PLATE NUMBER PAIR OF THE $1.00 TRANS-MISSISSIPPI ISSUE.
The Scott Catalogue premium for an imprint and plate number pair versus two singles seems inadequate ($3,250.00 vs. $2,500.00). The premium for a plate block of four versus a block of four is nearly six times.
