Plate number P1111 sits in the selvage of the Palace of Fine Arts and Ice Caves panes, and B1111 on the Spiral Galaxy panes. Plate numbers also appear to be printed on the remaining panes. The stamp faces appear clean, with no postal cancels visible on the fronts. Wavy die-cut lines run through the selvage, what appear to be self-adhesive panes. The Grand Island Ice Caves panes appear to show some curling of the backing, and one of them has what appears to be a small dark mark in the upper right selvage. Six designs, big denominations, one lot. Approx Value: $1232 All lots sell as-is, where-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. Preview in person before bidding.
