Auction: SW1002 - Latin America, including the Tito Collection - Part I
Lot: 1057

1859, 80c. orange-yellow, an extraordinary large even margined block of four, graced by luxurious intense color. Faint horizontal and corner creases hardly apparent on front, in no way detracting from the outstanding state of preservation of this block. Multiples of this stamp are exceedingly elusive, undoubtedly being the scarcest of this issue. The largest known multiple, being the vastly superior quality example of the two blocks of four recorded. One of the gems and most significant multiples of Uruguayan philately. Cert. Hernández Rocha, signed A. Diena and G. Bolaffi. Ciardi 8. Ex Sciarra. Starting Price US$ 30,000
