FINE-VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A SPECTACULAR AND RARE COMPLETE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE 1851 3-CENT DULL RED PLATE IMPRINTS AND NUMBERS.

Most of the few complete plate reconstructions that exist contain margin copies that cut off at least parts of the imprints, and especially parts or all of the plate numbers. For the collector who wishes to own the complete representation of imprints and plate numbers -- the best parts of a 3c plate reconstruction -- this is a wonderful opportunity and is more easily exhibitable.
