1866, 10c. lilac, stone A, double impression variety, a spectacular example from the right of the sheet, complete to mostly large margins, immense at right. Few traces of original gum. Negligible small soiling spot at top, only mentioned for accuracy, as well as tiny closed tear at top between frame ornaments, just touching the design, not detracting. Together with the fifth issue 10c. block of nine showing double impression (offered by Spink Investphila in his March 2012 Sale as lot 527), this stamp possess the attribute of representing the other recorded item featuring double impression variety in the Colombian classic period, consequently being one of the most important varieties of Colombian philately. Cert. Bortfeldt. Scott 46 (var). Ex Frohlich.
