Sale 1192, Lot 388, 1901 Pan-American Issue, Inverts (Scott 294a, 295a, 296a)4c Pan-American, Center Inverted (296a). Original gum which is free from any disturbance, rich colors, pulled perf at top, short perf and small sealed tear at bottom

FINE CENTERING. A FRESH ORIGINAL-GUM 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. The example offered here, which was kept in a safe deposit box for more than 70 years (sharing space with the Inverted Jenny Position 49), is exceedingly fresh.

With 2018 P.F. certificate.
