30c Orange (38). Original
gum, barest trace of hinging, perfectly centered, radiant color and
proof-like impressionEXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 30-CENT 1857 ISSUE. Although some sheets of the 24c, 30c and 90c 1857-60 Issue were left in the public's hands after the Civil War demonetization took effect, original-gum examples of the 30c in Extremely Fine grade are extremely rare, owing to the narrow space between subjects on the plate and the difficulty experienced by Toppan, Carpenter with the first perforated issue. This stamp is extraordinary in three respects: first, it is perfectly centered with the design framed by white margin on all sides, second, it is very lightly hinged, and, third, the color is brilliant and free of any oxidation that frequently plagues this issue. With 1985 and 1995 P.F. certificates (Image) |
