4c Orange Brown, Bluish (360). Slightly disturbed original gum which is minor and from prior hinging, rich color and detailed impression, typical centering for this difficult issue

FINE. AN ATTRACTIVE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE EXTREMELY RARE 4-CENT BLUISH PAPER

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 2002 P.F. certificate
