Fresh mint block of four of the 5c vermilion Beaver from the 1859 "First Cents" issue, part OG (disturbed), sensibly hinge reinforced with minor perf separation, from plate positions 16, 17, 26 and 27 from state 9 of the retouched plate. All have identifiable characteristics for their position and state but most striking is the large blob at foot of N in "CENTS" on upper right stamp. A very scarce mint multiple accompanied by enlargement with plate flaws highlighted in red. Comes with Bileski's original notes and original $1,000.00 price tag. Valued by Scott catalogue as four mint singles. 2019 Scott US$2,300.00=
