How did I miss this thread??? Feel free to horn in any time you like, Mr Frog. Did I show you folks this cover? I think I did, but that never stopped me before from repeating myself. Check out the date in the CDS... ...I know, cool right?

James, I actually could not believe my eyes when I put it under the microscope.I have not seen another mint block listed in any auctions so pricing it would be difficult.As most know I try to find used blocks to go with my singles and this collection was just one of those AWW... throw a bid out and see if it sticks.Many of the stamps in this collection were better than average and it looked to me as if the owner had hit post offices for a few years when things came out.Many mint Admiral blocks and other issues from that era.Watch for my latest tip in newsletter it actually was inspired by this purchase.

Yes falschung that is what this block is.A nice addition to my stuff.This year was one that rewarded the time I spent,and yes, the entire lot including about a hundred other stamps was purchased for 99 cents.

beauty, frog. The bottom left stamp is VF. If it is NH then that one stamp catalogs $3000. The Bottom right stamp is F-VF and the top 2 are Fine.
