1893, 15¢ Columbian (238), near perfect centering, wonderfully fresh color, immaculate paper, finely etched impression. Full never hinged original gum. Extremely Fine. Scott $625
AN EXTRAORDINARY MINT 15¢ COLUMBIAN IN THE FINEST STATE OF PRESERVATION.
Expertization: photocopy of 1998 P.F. Certificate for block.
In our experience the 15¢ is of the two or three most difficult of the Columbians to locate truly well centered. This example is among the finest never hinged single we have seen.
