( )
1867, 10¢ yellow green, F. grill (96), vertical block of 15, unused, strong color on generally bright paper, average centering, left vertical strip rejoined, vertical crease in right strip and lower left stamp faulty, a unique block, being the largest recorded unused multiple of this stamp.
Accompanying is a matching unused vertical strip of five which, judging from the downward trend of the horizontal perforations, would have been from the second vertical row to the right of this block; this strip is completely sound.
