Lot #118
1893 Columbian Exposition Issue
1893 4c blue, error of color, right sheet margin and part imprint block of four, never hinged and post office fresh, beautiful color and well centered for this rarity, upper right stamp with a natural inclusion speck (not mentioned in the 2005 PFC). Printed by using a wrong batch of ink, only two error panes of 50 were discovered, with perhaps more possible. Of the three recorded blocks, this is the only one with imprint. A true philatelic gem, worthy of the finest collection
