1859, 240c. vermilion, the marvelous block of nine stamps, types 6-5-6 / 8-7-8 / 10-9-10, very fresh impression and bright color, large margins all around, spectacular showing increasingly deep contrasting shades to the top, due to an uneven inking of the stone. Faint gum thin of no importance, only mentioned for accuracy, and slight horizontal crease at top, that does not detract. Illustrated in the ´´Uruguay Filatélico´´ of December 1938. The largest multiple in existence, unique. An absolutely stunning exhibition piece. Cert. Hernández Rocha, signed Díaz Paulos and Holcombe. Ciardi 12. Ex Banchs, Lee, Eliçabe, Hoffmann, Bustamante and Hubbard. Starting Price US$ 15,000
