Mint N.H. bottom plate no. 6423 and “FIFTY” at left block of ten with wide selvage, natural s.e. with part arrow at left, radiant color and crisp impression, few minor perf separations in selvage FINE-VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY 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. In the instance of the plate block offered here we can tell that this came from the bottom right pane, because on that pane the letters precede rather than follow the plate number.
