76° ogbl Image$2.00 Columbian (242). Bottom imprint, plate no. 105 and letter "A A" strip of four, original gum, unobtrusive h.r., attractive shade, right two stamps thin spots, few expertly reinforced perf separations at right not mentioned on accompanying certificate

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A SCARCE AND DESIRABLE IMPRINT AND PLATE NUMBER STRIP OF FOUR OF THE $2.00 COLUMBIAN.

The $2.00 plate number block of eight is believed to be unique; therefore, a strip of four is the only practical means to show the complete imprint and plate number.

77° og Image$3.00 Columbian (243). Bottom imprint, plate no. 106 and letter "B B" strip of four, slightly disturbed original gum, deep rich color and proof-like impression, gorgeous centering, three stamps and selvage with thin spots, light gum soaks along a few perfs at bottom

EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE IMPRINT AND PLATE NUMBER STRIP OF FOUR OF THE $3.00 COLUMBIAN.

The $3.00 Columbian is extremely difficult to find in any form of plate number multiple. Only three plate blocks are known (they are blocks of six). We have sold only two other imprint and plate number strips of four since keeping computerized records.

78° og Image$4.00 Columbian (244). Bottom imprint, plate no. 107 and letter "C C" strip of four, original gum, few reinforced perf separations, inconsequential small thin spot in selvage below left imprint

VERY FINE. A RARE IMPRINT AND PLATE NUMBER STRIP OF FOUR OF THE $4.00 COLUMBIAN ISSUE.

Two plate blocks of six are known, but neither shows the letters of the imprint; each has a catalogue value of $300,000.00. The unique plate block of ten shows the full imprint, plate number and letters; it has a catalogue value of $400,000.00, but it has not been sold at auction since the 1938 Crocker sale. We sold a plate strip of the $4.00 Pale Aniline Rose shade (Scott 244a) in our 2013 Rarities sale for $26,000 hammer. This strip in the Crimson Lake shade would make an excellent companion.

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE IMPRINT AND PLATE NUMBER STRIP OF FOUR OF THE $5.00 COLUMBIAN ISSUE.
