I, vertical pair, imperforate horizontally, an incredibly rare block of four containing two error pairs, attractively centered, o.g., mild h.r., left pair with natural gum creasing, very fine; with only a total of 25 pairs recorded, this is one of the very few blocks available; 1989 PF certificate. (Image)	$5,000.00 SOLD for $1,800.00 Will close during Public Auction
803		502d	#502d, 3c Dark violet, Ty. II, double impression, highly select mint example of this rare and distinctive variety, in fact, this is the finest quality never hinged example we have ever offered, being far better centered than most, as most are encountered quite off center, brilliantly fresh and crisp, with intense color and clear doubling of the impression, pristine o.g., n.h., very fine; 2002 PF certificate.

805	O	504b	#504b, 5c Blue, double impression, with a strong and clear second impression, light oval cancel, tiny natural paper wrinkle (as all examples have), similar centering to the other three known copies, fine; one of only four known examples, all four of which originated in a block of four that was issued a certificate by the Professional Stamp Experts in 2000, it was then broken into singles; with such a tiny number known it is clearly undervalued in Scott, especially when considering that last time this very stamp was sold at auction (in April 2005) it realized $2,750.00 (including premium); photocopy of the 2000 PSE certificate for the block of four, as well as a 2001 PSE certificate for the single.
