3c Brown Red, Re-issue (104). Deep rich color and detailed impression on bright paper, neat strike of "1" duplex cancel, choice centering for this difficult issue

EXTREMELY FINE. THIS IS EASILY ONE OF THE FINEST OF THE 21 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Our unpublished census of Scott 104 in used condition contains only 21 used examples of the 3c 1861 Re-Issue (one has never been certified). Of these, less than half are sound. The example offered here, in sound condition and with choice centering, is a true condition rarity.

Unpublished Census No. 104-CAN-21. With 2011 P.S.E. certificate (VF-XF 85; SMQ $28,600.00). This is the highest grade awarded to date to a used copy and only one other shares this grade.
