24c Gray Lilac (37). Mint N.H., radiant color, crisp impression, well-balanced margins

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. THE 1860 24-CENT GRAY LILAC IS EXTREMELY RARE IN MINT NEVER-HINGED CONDITION, ESPECIALLY SO WELL-CENTERED.

Aside from five Mint N.H. stamps contained in the block of twelve offered in our "Sevenoaks" sale (Sale 831) and one single contained in another block of twelve offered in our 2010 Rarities sale, we have offered only four others in Mint N.H. condition since keeping computerized records. The online records of the Philatelic Foundation contains only six, including one with a fault, one strongly in at bottom and two with older certificates stating "it is genuine" (which need to be confirmed, both centered to bottom).

With 2010 P.F. certificate. Scott Retail as hinged
