339 og 296a image#296a, 4c Pan-American, Center Inverted, magnificently bright and fresh, deep luxuriant colors and strong impressions, exceptionally well centered within large margins, full clean undisturbed o.g., lightly hinged, extremely fine. A spectacular and highly desirable example of this important 20th century rarity. In a quality which ranks it among the very finest, if not the finest, in existence, as it is among the scant few that are not only well centered and sound, but it is also without the disturbed gum which is present on the vast majority of known copies (as well as one of the few whose accompanying certificate simply states "previously hinged"). There were two sheets of 100 each of the Four Cent Pan-American with centers inverted intentionally made for Post Office records. An unknown number of these were overprinted "Specimen" and still others were destroyed. The non-"Specimen" examples were mounted in a Post Office Department book resulting in the vast majority of them having disturbed gum, and a number were also thinned in an effort to remove them from mounting paper. Very few exist today with completely undisturbed original gum and/or free of faults. The catalog value quoted in Scott is for copies with disturbed gum and, of course, the remarkably few that exist in premium condition with full undisturbed gum such as this command substantial premiums over the catalog price. Accompanied by a 2002 PF certificate. (Image) 30,000.00
