$2.00-$20.00 State Department, Atlanta Trial Color Proofs (O68TC4-O71TC4). Complete set of 28 (seven for each denomination), all color combinations represented, large margins, rich colors, few with thin spots from mounts

VERY FINE. A RARE INTACT SET OF ATLANTA TRIAL COLOR PROOFS FOR THE DOLLAR-VALUE STATE DEPARTMENT ISSUES. SELDOM OFFERED AS AN INTACT UNIT.

A Power Search review shows that for the Atlanta Trial Color proofs, the 1c-90c values are normally offered as a unit of 431 proofs, but they are almost always lacking the rare and colorful dollar-value State Department issues. We have offered only one intact set of all 463 proofs since keeping computerized records.

This is also the only time we have offered all of the dollar values in one lot (they catalogue $1,000.00 apiece). Very few sets remain intact.
