10c Brown (209). Mint N.H. top imprint and plate no. 548 block of ten, beautiful color, wide margins with bottom stamps particularly well-centered, few light natural gum bends as often found on this issue VERY FINE-EXTREMELY FINE. A SCARCE MINT NEVER-HINGED PLATE BLOCK OF THE 10-CENT 1882 RE-ENGRAVED ISSUE. Scott Catalogue lists this as both a plate block of ten and a plate block of twelve. We have sold just one of the latter in Mint N.H. condition since keeping computerized records, and it is unpriced as Mint N.H. in Scott. Scott Catalogue assigns a three-times premium for Mint N.H. singles versus hinged. We would think that for a plate block the premium should be even higher. Scott Retail as Mint N.H. singles
