Mint N.H. block of four with top right corner selvage, also showing trace of the vignette in the selvage at top and right, brilliant colors

EXTREMELY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED BLOCK OF FOUR OF THE 29-CENT NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE ERROR, CONTAINING TWO INVERTS AND TWO WITH THE VIGNETTE COMPLETELY OMITTED. A WONDERFUL POSITION PIECE FROM THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THE PANE.

Two panes in total were discovered. This block comes from the second to be discovered. Each pane consists of 40 stamps, and of these 28 were with the centers inverted and 12 were with the centers completely omitted. The panes are from different positions on the sheet, so theoretically this multiple is unique.

With 2008 P.S.E. certificate. The center omitted variety is unlisted in Scott but is more than twice as rare as the invert. The two inverts in this block catalogue $52,000.00.
