# 240-45 - 1893 50c- $5 Columbian Commemorative High Values, Used with small imperfections, Set of 6
Own 5 Scarce High-Value Columbians and SAVE!
The 1893 Columbian stamps are some of the most treasured by collectors. In fact, the set's degree of completion is often the standard by which a US collection is measured. If you've ever dreamed of owning high-value Columbians, this is the perfect opportunity to do so and enjoy significant savings.
You'll get US #240-45 in postall used condition with minor imperfections that don't detract from their beauty or collectibility, but save you money off Mystic's U.S. Stamp Catalog prices. Plus, for your added convenience, interest-free monthly time payments are available.
High-Value Columbians Are Very Scarce
Due to their high face values, these Columbians were issued in smaller quantities than the rest of the set. That's because few people could afford them – the $5 stamp would cost up to $969 in today's wages! In fact, just 27,350 of the $5 Columbians were printed over 130 years ago. And the total number available to collectors today is much smaller than that, as some of the stamps have surely been destroyed by the ravages of time. The $1, $2, $3, and $4 stamps were issued in small quantities as well.
To give you some perspective, modern US commemorative stamps are often issued in quantities of over one billion. Even modern rarities like the Legends of the West error sheet (US #2870) and the specially die-cut Bugs Bunny sheet with 10th stamp imperforate (US #3138) were issued in substantially larger quantities than these Columbians. And they were issued within the last 30 years! So you can see these stamps are truly scarce. Finding high-value Columbians will only become more difficult as time goes on, so take advantage of this opportunity to get them in your collection today.
