Lot 1297 |

1893, 4¢ Columbian, blue color error (233a), nearly perfectly centered within large balanced margins deep color and slightly disturbed original gum. Extremely Fine and choice.
Scott $19,000
ONE OF THE FINEST RECORDED EXAMPLES OF THIS RARE ERROR OF COLOR.
Expertization: 1984 and 1998 P.F. Certificates.
Provenance: Zoellner
The 4¢ error of color is the result of a quantity of 4¢ Columbians being printed in the color of the 1¢ value. At least two panes of slightly different shades are known to have made it into collectors' hands, this example being the deeper shade of the two. Used examples are known and would have come from other panes indicating that many more sheets were likely printed.
A large number of the known 4¢ errors are faulty and/or poorly centered, and very few choice examples such as this exist.
