 30c Orange (71). Original
gum, brilliant color as fresh as the day it was printed, well-balanced
marginsEXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTFUL ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 30-CENT 1861 ISSUE, WITH WONDERFUL GUM, CENTERING, COLOR AND PERFORATIONS. The narrowly-spaced 30c 1861 plate left very little room for the 12-gauge perforations between stamps. Consequently, examples with wide margins at sides are extremely rare -- this fact is acknowledged in the Scott Catalogue footnote to No. 71. (Image) |
