30c Brownish Orange, Re-Issue (110). Deep rich color and beautiful clear impression, sharp strike of duplex cancelVERY FINE. THE 30-CENT 1861 RE-ISSUE IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT DENOMINATIONS TO OBTAIN IN SOUND USED CONDITION WITH DECENT CENTERING. ONLY 22 IN TOTAL ARE RECORDED IN OUR CENSUS, AND OF THESE ONLY THREE ARE CONFIRMED AS SOUND. THIS STAMP IS WITHOUT QUESTION ONE OF THE FINEST IN EXISTENCE.
The 30c Re-Issue was printed from the original plate of 200 subjects. A total of 10,000 was printed (50 impressions). Only 346 of the 30c were sold; the remaining 9,654 were destroyed on July 16, 1884.
Our census of Scott 110 used, at https://siegelauctions.com/census/us/scott/110 , records only 22 copies (including one in the Benjamin K. Miller collection at The New York Public Library). Of these only three are confirmed as sound. Two copies (census nos. 08 and the Miller copy) have not been examined in several decades, so their condition is unconfirmed. The narrow space between stamps resulted in most copies with perforations touching or cutting into the design. The example offered here, in sound condition and with far better centering than most, is tied with the "Natalee Grace" copy as the finest in existence.
