4c Deep Red Brown & Black, Pan-American, Center Inverted (296a). Unused (no gum), bright colors, defective including repairs, reperfed at left and thinnedFINE APPEARING 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 97 of the stamps were removed from an album page, they are generally thinned or have seriously disturbed or no gum.
With 1971 P.F. certificate.
