  • Lot# : 4078 Colombia

    5 c. purple-brown / claret, Second Stone, mint pair on laid paper, showing the "fingerprint flaw" on left hand stamp, large margins all round, and sheet marginal at base-the proving stamp for the plating of the variety to the lower horizontal row. Rare and extremely fine, large part original gum. Astonishingly, this is the sole recorded mint multiple of the 5 centavos on laid paper.
