Bottom imprint, plate no. 18 and letter "D" strip of four, original gum, h.r., deep rich color in the darker of the two shades, centered to left, completely sound

FINE. THE ONLY CERTIFIED SOUND IMPRINT AND PLATE NUMBER STRIP OF FOUR OF THE 4-CENT COLUMBIAN COLOR ERROR, AND ONE OF ONLY TWO RECORDED. OFFERED TO THE MARKET FOR THE FIRST TIME IN DECADES.

The 4c Columbian color error was caused by the use of a wrong batch of ink, and spectrographic analysis has shown that the blue inks of the 4c error and 1c Columbian have the same components.

Stamps from at least two panes reached collectors, and the few cancelled examples indicate that stamps used by the public came from other panes. It is likely that a number of full sheets were printed using the wrong ink, and most of the stamps have simply been lost to philately.

This imprint and plate number strip is from Plate 18, the other recorded example is from Plate 17. The shade of this plate strip is the deeper of the two known Blue error shades.
