Daniel F. Kelleher Auctions, LLC Sale: 731

United States
1893 Columbian Issue
Sale No: 731
Lot No: 1241
Symbol:
Cat No: 233a

Sign up for the Provenance Catalog (here.)

image 1893, Columbian, 4¢ blue, color error (Scott 233a), block of 4, o.g., never hinged, rare block, fresh with strong color, reasonably well centered for this difficult error, a showpiece; natural straight edge at top, top right stamp with tiny natural inclusion virtually invisible from front, Fine, with 2014 P.F. certificate for irregular block of nine from which this came.
Scott $150,000.
Estimate $25,000 - 35,000

By using the ink from the 1¢ stamp and printing the 4¢ stamp, this caused the creation of the iconic "blue error of color". It is believed that two panes reached the marketplace. With several used examples having surfaced, one census suggests as many as 15 examples have been recorded, which leads one to believe at least one additional pane may have existed.
