50c Parcel Post (Scott Q10). Wide bottom plate no. 6428 and “FIFTY” block of six, slightly disturbed original gum, faint gum bend, fresh color FINE-VERY FINE. A VERY RARE PLATE NUMBER AND “FIFTY” BLOCK OF SIX OF THE 50-CENT PARCEL POST ISSUE. The Parcel Post issues were printed from plates of 180 which consisted of four panes of 45. According to Johl, the uniform color of the twelve denominations led to confusion on the part of postal clerks, who complained that they were forced to examine the stamps in detail to ensure they had the correct values. In response, on January 27, 1913, large capital letters were added to the margins near each plate number. At top and bottom the imprint is in the selvage next to the plate number; on the sides it is separated by a stamp with blank selvage. With 2005 P.F. certificate
