276 nh Image$3.00 Olive Green, Columbian (243a). Mint N.H., dark shade, post-office fresh, accompanying certificate notes a natural inclusion at top center which we have difficulty locating

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED $3.00 COLUMBIAN IN THE PREFERRED OLIVE GREEN SHADE.

Most of the relatively few known Mint Never-Hinged examples of the $3.00 Columbian are Yellow Green, not the more intense Olive Green color of Scott 243a. The last example we offered in Mint N.H. condition was in 2010, and we have offered only four others since keeping computerized records.

277 nh Image$5.00 Columbian (245). Mint N.H., choice centering, proof-like impression on bright white paper, post-office fresh, tiny natural inclusion at left (not mentioned on certificate)

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE $5.00 COLUMBIAN.

The rarity of the $5.00 Columbian in Mint N.H. condition is easily explained. For more than a century, collectors have proudly hinged this highest value of the Columbian set in their albums, and the vast majority of stamps have not escaped the hinge. Only the break-up of blocks, which rarely contain Mint N.H. stamps, has provided the few Extremely Fine Mint N.H. $5.00 Columbian stamps extant today. We have offered perhaps a half-dozen in the past eight years, and several were off-center.
