#244, $4.00 Columbian, fabulously well centered amid the most immense jumbo margins imaginable, rich color and a wonderful impression, especially clean full o.g. that has been only very lightly hinged, an extremely fine gem.[cr][lf][cr][lf]This stamp boasts margins of spectacular width unlike any other we have seen. And just as remarkable is the fact that it is nearly perfectly centered within these massive borders. Contributing further to its marvelous overall desirability is its strong rich color and the extraordinary preservation of its original gum. Few, if any other, Four Dollar Columbians exist this large and are as choice. A superlative stamp.[cr][lf][cr][lf]Accompanied by 1990 and 2002 PF certificates, as well as a 2007 PSE certificate (XF-Superb 95 Jumbo; SMQ $8,650.00 as 95 and $15,000.00 as 98); one of only two original gum Four Dollar Columbians of either shade to grade XF-Superb 95 Jumbo, with only two grading slightly higher.[cr][lf][cr][lf] Estimate US$ 7,500-9,000
