1858, 180c. green, unissued ?Diligencia?, a remarkable marginal block of nine in detailed impression, types 12-14 / 19-21 / 26-28, sheet margin at right with mostly large margins, just a bit cut into at small place of left side, and slightly cut into at base clearly showing the characteristic misplaced alignment of clichés. Faint creasing, tiny thin and small tone spots, being usual faults of little importance. Contrary to the Bustamante theory, this value was printed in horizontal rows of 14. One of the three recorded multiples which are larger than a block of four. Cert. Hernández Rocha. Ciardi 2A. Starting Price US$ 3,000
