50c Carmine, Trans-Pacific, Air Post (C22). Mint N.H. wide top plate number F 21625 block of six, vivid color and choice centering

EXTREMELY FINE AND RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED WIDE TOP PLATE BLOCK OF THE 50-CENT CLIPPER ISSUE.

Advanced collectors of U.S. plate blocks understand that this issue is far rarer as a wide top Mint N.H. plate block than even the $2.60 Graf Zeppelin. The Scott Catalogue notes "wide full selvage top margin plate blocks of No. C22 are extremely scarce and sell for $3,000.00 or more" (versus $85.00 price for regular plate block).

With 2010 P.S.E. certificate (XF 90; plate blocks unpriced in SMQ)
