EXTREMELY FINE. POSSIBLY THE FINEST EXISTING PLATE NUMBER BLOCK OF THE ONE-CENT PERF 10 UNWATERMARKED POSTAGE DUE ISSUE.

Generally, the 1c Unwatermarked Perf 10 is found with poor centering. This plate block -- a rarity in any grade -- is almost certainly the finest plate block in existence, but the six stamps rank among the finest examples in any form. Our review of major plate block and Postage Due auctions, including Chapin, Cole, Kobacker, Simon, Todd, and Wampler, revealed only two examples: the plate block offered here, ex Cole, and the ex-Wampler block, which was also hinged once at top with selvage reduced, but not nearly as well centered.
