3300 og 4c Orange Brown, Bluish (360).> Deep rich color, sharp proof-like impression on fresh deeply-blued paper<><>^A FINE AND CHOICE POST-OFFICE FRESH EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 4-CENT BLUISH PAPER.^<><>This stamp was described in a 1944 Col. Green sale as Mi4c Orange Brown, Bluish (360). Deep rich color, sharp proof-like impression on fresh deeply-blued paper

A FINE AND CHOICE POST-OFFICE FRESH EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 4-CENT BLUISH PAPER.

This stamp was described in a 1944 Col. Green sale as Mint Never-Hinged and has been sold three times since as Never Hinged. In 1999 the Philatelic Foundation rendered its opinion "previously hinged", basing its conclusion on what we believe is a tiny natural vertical ridge in the gum at the very top of the stamp. The stamp is sold on the basis of the current certificate, because sometimes hinging is in the eye of the beholder, but we feel confident that the provenance and physical characteristics weigh heavily in this stamp's favor.
