| The "Muddy Ocean" Variety. VF mint NH block of nine of the 1898 issue 2c Xmas Map stamp, all the stamps with the Darnell catalogue listed "Muddy Ocean" variety Darnell #74e). This popular variety was created by the oxidation of the original lavender ink (one reason that strong examples of lavender ocean Maps are so hard to find).

Conservatively valued as nine regular mint NH stamps. 2023 Scott Classic $900.00=
