Sale 1185, Lot 82, Pan-American Issue, 20th Century Issues including Non-Inverted Jenny4c Orange Brown, Bluish (360). Rich color on nicely blued paper, well-centered for this difficult issue with attractive margins

VERY FINE AND CHOICE EXAMPLE OF THE 4-CENT ON BLUISH PAPER. UNUSUALLY WELL-CENTERED FOR THIS RARE ISSUE.

The June 1910 Third Assistant Postmaster General’s report states that 4,400 (eleven sheets) of the 4c were printed on Bluish Paper. It is believed that none of the 4c and 8c Bluish Paper stamps were distributed to post offices, and that all of the examples in collectors’ hands reached the market through the Travers-Steinmetz exchange and the 1914 National Museum trades to H. F. Colman (12 copies) and Nassau Stamp Company (65 copies).

With 2013 P.F. certificate (VF 80)
