Scott #B8 [1931 Pro Filatelia Semi-Postal] Left Margin BLOCK OF FOUR, NEVER HINGED, Original Gum, with VF centering. A wonderful block with excellent centering, "perfect" roulette cuts, and "pristine" original gum. While blocks of this stamp are seldom offered, the price is just less than the value of four NH VF single stamps. The left margin is a nice feature -- showing a large part ("SUOMEN", Finnish for Finland) of the marginal-text watermark -- but it does not increase the price (and could be removed without any loss of value). An outstanding accent piece for the first page of a Finland semi-postals collection. ACTUAL item. |
