4c Deep Blue Green, American Special Printing (Scott No. 211D)
Census No. 211D-UNC-24

SPECIAL NOTE: There are many United States stamps that look similar to the rarities listed below. Some of the differences between expensive rarities and common stamps can be subtle, including differences in perforation, shade and size. These stamps should have certificates from a recognized expertizing committee, such as The Philatelic Foundation or P.S.E.

Our census of the 4c 1883 Special Printing contains 26 stamps offered as No. 211D, of which 25 have been certified by The Philatelic Foundation. Post Office Department records indicate that only 26 were sold. This survival rate of 100% is extraordinary.
