Sale 1357, Lot 181, Later Issues

3c Deep Violet (537a). Block of four, brilliant color and nicely centered, Beverly Mass. 1920 duplex cancel, completely sound

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A RARE BLOCK OF FOUR OF THE 3-CENT DEEP RED VIOLET SHADE VICTORY ISSUE WITH A HANDSTAMP CANCEL.

The vast majority of used examples of Scott 537a have precancels. Our census of used examples at https://siegelauctions.com/census/us/scott/537a contains only four blocks of four and 18 singles. Two of the blocks have precancels and one with a handstamp cancel has faults and much inferior centering to this block.

Census no. 537a-CAN-BL-22, with 2025 P.S.E. certificate (VF-XF 85; blocks unpriced in SMQ).
