I have listed photos of the exact stamps you should receive, both Front and Back Series: Columbian Exposition Issue Face value: 2 ¢ - United States cent First Day of Issue: January 1, 1893 First Day City: National Release Print run: 1,464,588,750 Emission: Commemorative Printed by: American Bank Note Company Printing Method: Flat plate Perforation: 12 Color: Brown Violet Landing of Columbus - Columbian Exposition Issue This stamp shows Columbus coming ashore at Guanahani (San Salvador) in the West Indies. He claimed the land in the name of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain. And so certain was Columbus that he was in India, he called the natives “Indians.” A popular error known as the “Broken Hat” variety occurred during the printing of this stamp – when a break developed in the printing press’s transfer roll. The flaw caused a piece to be missing from the hat of the foreground figure to the left of Columbus. Printed by the American Bank Note Company The 1893 Columbian Series was printed by the American Bank Note Company. The engraving was done by Alfred Jones and Charles Skinner. The stamps were printed in brown, violet ink in sheets of 100 subjects on soft, porous white wove paper and perforated 12.
