EXTREMELY FINE GEM. THE 3-CENT 1861 PINK IS EXTREMELY RARE IN SOUND ORIGINAL-GUM CONDITION. THIS STAMP IS WITHOUT QUESTION ONE OF THE FINEST IN EXISTENCE.

Examples of the 1861 3c Pink with original gum are almost invariably creased and/or toned. This stamp is a rare exception, and its centering and color place it among the finest of the original-gum copies extant.
