Description
1882-84 8c orange, block of four, from the centre and right units of the triplet setting, showing types 12 + 14 (all letters narrow, right pair) and 11 + 14 ('S' wide, left pair) se-tenant, o.g. with brilliant colour and the lower left stamp unmounted. Insignificant gum wrinkles mentioned for accuracy but a superb piece of the highest rarity, being one of two recorded blocks from the original issue of just 250 8c stamps (of which less than 84 can have been type 11).
