A PHENOMENAL JUMBO MARGIN MINT EXAMPLE OF THE $4 COLUMBIAN ISSUE.

The P.S.E. population report records only five stamps receiving a 95J grade in all conditions with one in used condition and another in no gum condition, along with the three o.g. examples. There are no jumbo examples grading higher. This example, being only very lightly hinged and with radiantly rich color is certainly one - if not the finest jumbo mint example extant. (Image1)
