Sale 1134, Lot 55, 1875 Reprint of 1857-60 Issue (Scott 40-47)12c Greenish Black, Reprint (44). Without gum as issued, intense shade and proof-like impression, unusually precise centering

VERY FINE AND CHOICE EXAMPLE OF THE 12-CENT 1857 REPRINT.

The narrow spaces between stamps on the 12c 1857 Reprint plate allowed almost no room for large 12-gauge perforations, and the Reprints were generally perforated into parts of the design. Examples such as this, with the framelines complete on all four sides, are extremely rare.

Ex Hall. With 2003 P.F. certificate
