A STRIKING EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 30¢ YELLOW ORANGE REPRINT WITH SUCH CHOICE CENTERING.
Expertization: 2005 P.S.E. Certificate graded XF 90.
The 1857 30¢ reprint is notarious as one of the tightest-margined of the series. The stamp offered here is certainly one of the finest recorded examples due to its centering and wide margins. There are only four other examples that have been graded XF 90 by the P.S.E., with only one graded higher to date (XF 90J).
