(315) 1908 LINCOLN 5¢ BLUE IMPERF, CENTER
LINE BLOCK (PSE GRADED 90) ........................... PH $10,000
Outstanding and RARE center line block of 4. Due to the way
the 33 imperforate sheets of 400 were divided (four panes of
100 stamps by guide lines), there are fewer than 6 center line
blocks that could potentially exist per Max Johl. The Philatelic
Foundation has only certified one center line block. This one
is Post Office fresh, top two stamps extremely lightly hinged
(to the point where hinging is virtually invisible), and bottom
two stamps mint never hinged. An extremely fine GEM. A true
20th century RARITY, makes for a great showpiece! (2013
PSE Graded XF 90, Mint OGph, Cert #1262037). SMQ does
not value center line blocks. Cat $9000.
