Only a Few Lucky Collectors Can Boast of Owning a Complete Set of These Columbian Proofs
The 1893 Columbian Exposition stamps are legendary. Every collector knows how tough it is to put together a full set, especially with the high-dollar values. Owning the full run of Columbians as stamps is out of reach for most collectors. These proofs give you the same historic designs, struck fresh from the dies, for thousands less!
Proofs have a look all their own. Pulled under controlled conditions, they show sharper detail and stronger color than the stamps we’re used to seeing. That’s especially true for Columbians – on these proofs, the engravings pop, and the colors are as fresh today as they were more than a century ago. They really let you see the artistry behind the designs.
Die Proofs showcase the beauty and craftsmanship of a stamp. They are created from the engraved die that is the master image for a stamp design. Die proofs highlight every fine detail of a stamp before they’re worn away through use.
This complete set of small die proofs highlight each Columbian stamp as it was meant to be. The talent of the engraver is on display with these stamps. You can appreciate the skill involved in creating these tiny masterpieces.
