It looks like the real thing. 5c, not 3c. See the Scott Catalog #467 and 505, check the perfs and you will know what you have. It is a 'good find.' Treat it with care. |

Perhaps it is a #505 error block? (5 cents not 3 cents, I can't really tell from image).  Don |

Is this a fact finding mission or an actual holding by you or your friend? Quite exciting. |

I vote real. Looks like it's been hinged (upper-right and thru the perfs) but I wish I had it!

Love the 505 error, especially in a block. They are plentiful but exciting! Plate blocks like this usually sell 300-500$ range at auction, depending on centering. Never hinged examples can go for double. Nice find! |

Hi,my friend actually was looking around on Delcampe and saw it,he wasn't interested and told me,it's not my thing either so if anybody wants to have a look it's on Delcampe,the fella's name there is PRIMARYSTAMPS.
Delcampe is a good site,I've never found "the big one" there but there's lots of stamps,covers and stuff.
I'm not a guy who keeps stuff secret I'm not interested in,Merry Xmas,go have a look. |
