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). The out-of-print Darnell catalogue popularized this eye-catching Map sub-type and valued them at $200.00 each ($1,800.00 for the block of 9). Conservatively valued as nine regular mint NH stamps. 2023 Scott Classic $900.00=
