FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 4-CENT COLUMBIAN ERROR OF COLOR -- AS FRESH AS THE DAY IT WAS PURCHASED AT THE POST OFFICE.

The 4c Columbian color error was caused by the use of a wrong batch of ink. Spectrographic analysis confirms that the ink of the 4c error matches that used for the 1c stamp.
