Lot 3107
1875 Re-issue of 1861-67 issue, 24¢ deep violet (109), incredible centering for the 24¢ re-issue with full lightly hinged original gum; the stunning color and sharply etched impression allow every tiny detail of this finely engraved stamp to be viewed and appreciated. Extremely Fine. Scott $6,000
AN EXTRAORDINARY EXAMPLE OF THE 24¢ RE-ISSUE.
Expertization: 2000 P.F. Certificate.
The 24¢ is one of the major stumbling blocks to a choice mint set of these re-issues, as most are quite off center or have not retained their original gum. this example is among the few top quality mint singles extant.
