Price History for Scott 46 in NGAI 90 Grade
Show Grade on Graph
Three things to keep in mind when looking at the above results (unsolds are not included):
- It is important to look at the individual data points listed below. Price swings up may be due to varieties such as broken hat or other positives such as cancels. Price swings down may be due to factors such as faults on items that would have graded higher if they were sound, and may not be considered as desirable as a sound copy in this grade.
- When looking at multiple grades on the graph, grades with the same population numbers may show overlapping.
- At the time of an auction, the SMQ value has already been published and is available to bidders. Increases or decreases in SMQ value prior to the auction may affect the price realized.

30c Yellow Orange, Reprint (46). Without gum as issued, vibrant color on bright paper, beautiful centering for this difficult issueVERY FINE AND CHOICE. A FRESH AND WELL-CENTERED EXAMPLE OF THE 30-CENT 1857 REPRINT.
The Continental Bank Note Company reprinted the 30c stamp from the original plate of 200 subjects. 10,000 were printed (50 impressions). Only 480 were sold; the remaining 9,520 were destroyed on July 23, 1884. Of those sold, very few have perforations clear of the design on all four sides. This is reflected in the SMQ prices for this issue as a grade of F 75 equates to Scott Retail value, rather than the usual grade of VF 80.
With 1972, 2008 P.F. and 2008 P.S.E. certificates (VF 80; SMQ $4,850.00)
