230-245P3 – A Perfect Set of Columbian
India Paper Plate Proofs


This is one of the hardest india plate proof sets to assemble in perfect condition. Most sets have either color problems or translucencies in the paper. This set comes from a set of blocks that we have broken up. It would have stayed intact if it had not been for a hole in one of the five-dollar proofs. We have handled one other set this nice in the past seven years. We can offer three perfect sets. Another rare opportunity! (EP47-42) $2,750.00 each. Click to order.
