2485		$2.00 Columbian (242). Mint N.H. bottom imprint, plate no. 105 and letter "A A" strip of four, natural horizontal gum bend, vivid color and detailed impression, left stamp particularly choice centering VERY FINE-EXTREMELY FINE. AN EXCEPTIONALLY RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED IMPRINT AND PLATE NUMBER STRIP OF FOUR OF THE $4.00 COLUMBIAN ISSUE. THIS IS THE FIRST WE HAVE OFFERED IN OUR SALES SINCE 1993 AND OUR RARITY SALES SINCE 1965. A Review of Power Search revealed no full imprint or plate no. examples of the $4.00 Columbian in Mint N.H. condition -- in any size. When also considering that the only Mint N.H. examples we have sold since 1993 with any part of the printed selvage were a bottom "A A" single and a block of 20 with part imprint (in 2001), the rarity of this piece becomes even more apparent. The $2.00 plate number block of eight is believed to be unique, therefore, a strip of four is the only practical means to show the complete imprint and plate number. Scott Retail for imprint and plate no. strip of four is $8,500.00.
