Bloch (Scott #4; $1,200.00). (Image)	£800 Closed or SOLD for $1,250.00 Closing..Sep-15-2000, 05:00 PM

1220		S.G. #12	S.G. #12, 1874 "Three Pence" provisional surcharge on 1p Rose red, a handsome mint example of this important rarity, with strong rich color, centered a bit to left as all known genuine examples are found, all having come from a single pane of 60, large part o.g., small h.r., actually very fine and among the best examples known; only a lower left pane of 60 received this provisional surcharge, and of this population there are three blocks of four known, as well as the unique block of six, leaving only a possible 42 singles in existence, however nearly ten used examples are thought to exist and surely there as been some natural attrition, leaving scant few mint singles available for collectors; signed by both H. Bloch and Stanley Gibbons, and accompanied by a 1985 RPS certificate; ex-Prappas (Scott #11; $18,000.00). (Image)	£10,000 Closed or SOLD for $14,000.00 Closing..Sep-15-2000, 05:00 PM
