VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A SCARCE EXAMPLE OF THE 4-CENT PAN-AMERICAN INVERT WITHOUT "SPECIMEN" OVERPRINT.

he 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.

With 2002 P.S.E. certificate
