24c Blackish Violet, Reprint (45). Without gum as issued, uncommonly wide margins of Jumbo proportions, crisp impression on bright white paper

VERY FINE EXAMPLE OF THE 24-CENT 1857 ISSUE REPRINT.

The Continental Bank Note Company reprinted the 24c stamp from the original plate of 200 subjects. 10,000 were printed (50 impressions). Only 479 were sold; the remaining 9,521 were destroyed on July 23, 1884, by order of the Postmaster General. Due to the narrow spacing between subjects, many have perforations touching the design. The example offered here is one of only two stamps in the P.S.E. Population Report with the Jumbo appellation.

With 1994, 2005 P.F. and 2008 P.S.E. certificates (F-VF 75 Jumbo; SMQ $3,250.00 as 75, $4,200.00 as 80)
