1c-$5.00 Columbian, Plate Proofs on India (230P3-245P3). Complete set of blocks of four on original cards, each with sheet margin at left, large margins other sides, gorgeous colors throughoutEXTREMELY FINE. A STUNNING COMPLETE SET OF THE COLUMBIAN ISSUE ON INDIA, EACH WITH A SHEET MARGIN AT LEFT. THIS IS ONE OF THE FINEST SETS WE HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED.
Based on our experience, we believe Columbian plate proofs on India are extremely scarce and undervalued. The set offered here, on original cards and thus free from the small flaws that can plague this fragile paper, is truly remarkable.
