#236, 8c Columbian, an incomparable mint example of this value, which is widely regarded as the most difficult of the lower denomination Columbians to find in true gem
quality, this spectacular copy even surpasses the gem category, being one of the very finest in existence, boasting perfect centering amid gigantic jumbo margins unlike any other one can imagine, brilliantly fresh as well, with sumptuously
rich color on bright paper, immaculate o.g., never hinged, superb; a breathtakingly beautiful Eight Cent Columbian; 2001 PF certificate and a 2007 PSE certificate (Superb 98 Jumbo; SMQ $9,100.00 for 98); this is the sole example in the PSE
population report to receive this exalted grade, with the only higher example being the phenomenal 100 Jumbo that was in our September 2008 auction of the Westchester Collection, where it hammered down for $47,500.00, plus the buyer's premium. (Image) |
