Sale 1000, Lot 1076, 1875 Re-Issue of 1861-66 Issue3c Brown Red, Re-Issue (104). Deep rich color and detailed impression on bright paper, neat strike of duplex cancel, small thin spot at top, tiny corner perf crease at bottom left

EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. THIS IS EASILY ONE OF THE FINEST OF THE 20 USED EXAMPLES OF THE 3-CENT 1861 RE-ISSUE RECORDED IN OUR CENSUS. A GREAT RARITY.

Our unpublished census of Scott 104 in used condition contains only 20 used examples of the 3c 1861 Re-Issue (one has never been certified). Of these, less than half are sound. By virtue of centering, this is easily one of the finest in our records.

Unpublished Census No. 104-CAN-02. Ex Twigg-Smith and Dauer. With 1982 and 2006 P.F. certificates.
