The 30¢ 1869 is the rarest of the non revenue inverts with less than 40 used examples estimated to exist. As with the other 1869 inverts, most of these are faulty. The example offered here not only possesses excellent centering and color it also enjoys complete freedom from faults and/or repairs, making this example among the five or six finest stamps extant of this popular and important error.
