FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE USED EXAMPLE OF THE 30-CENT 1861 RE-ISSUE. ONLY 22 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 should be considered a desirable example.

Census No. 110-CAN-07. With 1974 P.F. certificate
