Ring's Vegetable Ambrosia, 4c Black, Old Paper, Imperforate (RS200a). Large even margins, detailed impression, few shallow thins

EXTREMELY FINE APPEARING EXAMPLE OF THE RARE IMPERFORATE 4-CENT BLACK RING'S VEGETABLE AMBROSIA ON OLD PAPER. ONLY NINE ARE RECORDED.

Nine examples are recorded in the Aldrich book. The book also notes that five are sound, but we doubt that as every copy we have encountered has thin spots, including both Joyce copies, the Lilly copy, the Tolman copy, the Inman copy and one in a 1953 Harmer's sale. The P.F. has only certified two examples -- one with thin spots and one seriously defective.
