4c Deep Red Brown & Black, Pan-American, Center Inverted (296a). Large part disturbed original gum, pretty shade, light crease at bottom, tiny tears at top and bottom, few toned perfs at topFINE APPEARING AND COLLECTIBLE EXAMPLE OF THE 4-CENT PAN-AMERICAN INVERT.
The 4c Pan-American Invert was a special printing and not regularly issued. Examples were distributed through two official channels, and the gum on the majority of stamps without "Specimen" overprint was disturbed. In fact, because the stamps were removed from mounting paper, they are generally thinned or have seriously disturbed gum..
With 2012 P.F. certificate
