3c Brown Red, Re-Issue
(104). Original gum, intense color and impression on bright paper,
choice centering with beautifully proportioned marginsEXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THE 3-CENT 1861 RE-ISSUE -- ONE OF THE RAREST OF THE SET IN THIS CHOICE CONDITION. The 3c 1861 Re-Issue, of which 465 were sold, has the distinction of being one of the three most difficult stamps in the set to obtain in this Extremely Fine Gem original-gum condition (the others are the 24c and 30c). It is rarely found well-centered, and those in Very Fine or Extremely Fine grade usually have either disturbed gum or no gum at all. In this stamp, we have the rare combination of choice centering and original gum, elevating it to one of the finest extant. Ex Coulter. With 1973 P.F. certificate (Image) |
