Sale 1391, Lot 214, 1875 Re-Issue of 1861-66 Issue (Scott 102-111)

30c Brownish Orange, Re-Issue (110). Original gum, brilliant color on fresh paper, unusually choice centering for this difficult issue

EXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 30-CENT 1861 RE-ISSUE. ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT VALUES OF THE SERIES TO OBTAIN IN SUCH CHOICE CONDITION.

The 30c Re-Issue was printed from the original plate of 200 subjects. 10,000 stamps were printed (50 impressions). Only 346 of the 30c were sold; the remaining 9,654 were destroyed on July 16, 1884.

With 1968, 2005 P.F. and 2005 P.S.E. certificates (OGph, VF-XF 85). Only two grade higher in the P.S.E. Population Report (both at 90) and one other shares this grade. This is the highest graded example we have offered in one of our auctions. SCV $6,000.
