$5.00 Columbian (245). Block of four, bottom pair particularly well-centered, bold strikes of oval registry cancel, small thin spots in top pair, perf separations reinforced

FINE-VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXTREMELY RARE AND MOST ATTRACTIVE USED BLOCK OF THE $5.00 COLUMBIAN ISSUE.

Used blocks of the dollar-value Columbians are rare, and those with registry cancels indicating proper use on mail are exceedingly rare. A Power Search review, including our Rarities sales, found only three other used blocks offered in our auctions. Only one of those had oval registry cancels and this block is superior to that one in both centering and condition.
