4c Columbian, Error of Color
(233a). Mint N.H., beautiful deep rich color on brilliant paper, the
more intense of the two error shades, proof-like impression, centered low
with three wide marginsFINE. 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.
