Sale 1106, Lot 3110, 1867-68 Grilled Issue, 1875 Re-Issue30c Brownish Orange, Re-Issue (110). Extraordinary Jumbo margins, rich re-issue color and impression, light quartered-cork cancel, closed tear at top

EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE USED EXAMPLE OF THE 30-CENT RE-ISSUE OF THE 1861-66 ISSUE. ONLY 22 USED EXAMPLES ARE RECORDED IN OUR CENSUS.

Our census of used Scott 110, available at our website, contains only 22 examples, plus one with a non-contemporary cancel. Of these, 14 have faults. Most of the faulty examples have serious defects. Very few copies, either sound or defective, have decent centering. The stamp offered here has margin width all around that is extremely unusual for any of the 30c 1861 printings.

Census No. 110-CAN-22. With 2015 P.S.E. certificate
