24c Green & Violet, Re-Issue (130). Mint N.H., deep rich colors and proof-like impressions, long and full perforationsVERY FINE. THE 24-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL RE-ISSUE IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN MINT NEVER-HINGED CONDITION. A PHENOMENAL RARITY.
Due to the extreme rarity of 24c 1869 Re-Issue multiples, there have been few opportunities to harvest Mint N.H. singles from blocks. Our records and a search thru auction catalogues found only one other, with bottom selvage in Extremely Fine condition, offered by Siegel in 2005 (Sale 902, lot 1071, realized $27,000 hammer)
