Expertization: 1970 P.F. Certificate (states "thin spot").
The 3¢ is the rarest of the used re-issues, with only about a dozen genuinely used examples extant. Most of the known examples are poorly centered and/or have more serious faults. The present example is one of the most desirable of this tiny population.
