$4.00 Rose Carmine, Columbian (244a). Radiant color in the distinctive Rose Carmine shade, superior centering with wide and balanced margins, neat strike of oval registry cancelEXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE ROSE CARMINE SHADE OF THE $4.00 COLUMBIAN.
Compared with the Crimson Lake stamp offered in the previous lot, the Rose Carmine is clearly a significantly different shade. The true Rose Carmine offered here, with crisp impression and overall freshness, is a difficult shade to obtain in such choice condition.
