Description

1864 50c green, small figures, the splendid block of 55 from the upper half of the sheet, wide to predominantly very large margins, very good impression, slight horizontal fold and corner crease, of little significance, as well as minor gum residue at top left, being in superb state of preservation for this large multiple, with virtually intact original gum; the largest multiple of this stamp in existence; cert. Bortfeldt 2008; ex Frohlich.

Note: For unknown reasons, but very probably due to a damage of the original plate, a new stone was prepared for this value, and it is presumed to have been printed in sheets of 121 stamps (eleven rows); a significant multiple for being this the only value with a changed stone in this issue.
