24c Gray (37a). Deep rich color in the true Gray shade, choice centering with wide margins, bold strike of red grid cancels appears to float on top of the stamp, Extremely Fine, in our opinion the 24c 1860 Issue in the Gray shade is considerably scarcer than the main shade listing and deserves a higher catalogue value, for example the P.S.E. Population Report contains 140 copies of the basic shade of Scott No. 37 certified versus only 29 in all categories for the Gray shade, with 1989 P.F. certificate
