24c Pink, 1894 Issue (PR96). Original gum, lightly hinged, precise centering, lovely pastel shadeEXTREMELY FINE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 24-CENT 1894 FIRST BUREAU ISSUE.
The high-denomination 1894 Unwatermarked Bureau issues are extremely rare and often plagued with poor centering and faults. If a "condition census" for PR96 were compiled we believe this stamp would rank among the finest extant.
Ex Vineyard and Hoffman. With 1992 and 2005 P.F. certificates.
