J52 Carmine Lake [Postage Due 1914 1 cent Perf 10, Single-Line Watermark] NH F-VF 4-block, as fresh as the day it was printed. The color is intense and the engraving extremely crisp and proof-like. The Scott Specialized Catalogue refers to 2 vs 3 mm spacing; this is explained in the regular stamp listings after #330. On only some plates, the Bureau laid out the plate with greater (3 mm instead of 2 mm) width between stamps in the outer vertical columns of the sheet; this was done to combat paper shrinkage after printing when the damp paper dried. (The distance between rows was kept at 2 mm.) This block example shows an oversized 3.5 mm gap between the two columns of stamps! Scott 2020 lists this stamp at $80 for a hinged single, $220 for a NH single (thus $880 for four), and $360 for a hinged 4-block -- but Scott does not price a NH 4-block. A reasonable comprise NH 4-block catalog value is $1000. Wonderfully fresh and attractive!
