$3.00 Scarlet, 1894 Issue (PR100). Original gum, h.r. at top and bottom, vivid color, well-balanced margins, small thins and small tear at top

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1894 $3.00 UNWATERMARKED BUREAU NEWSPAPERS AND PERIODICALS ISSUE. OUR RECENTLY COMPLETED CENSUS CONTAINS ONLY ELEVEN EXAMPLES.

Our recently updated census of PR100 (available at http://siegelauctions.com/dynamic/census/PR100/PR100.pdf ) contains only eleven copies. Of these, only four are potentially sound, and only nine are confirmed as having gum. As another indication of rarity, we have offered only one other since 1994. None was offered in Lyons, Floyd or Lessin, all of whom had copies of the $6.00, PR101.

Census No. PR100-OG-09. With 1976 P.F. and 2007 P.S.E. certificates.
