VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE USED EXAMPLE OF THE 24-CENT 1861 RE-ISSUE. ONLY THIRTEEN USED COPIES ARE CONTAINED IN OUR CENSUS. THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST USED RE-ISSUES.

The 24c Re-Issue was printed from the original plate of 200 subjects. A total of 10,000 was printed (50 impressions). Only 346 of the 24c were sold; the remaining 9,654 were destroyed on July 16, 1884.
