Sale 1140, Lot 490, 1869 Pictorial Issue (Scott 112-122)

30c Ultramarine and Carmine (121). Original gum, exceptionally bright colors, choice centering and wide margins

EXTREMELY FINE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 30-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL, WITH A WONDERFUL COMBINATION OF COLOR, FRESHNESS AND CENTERING.

The rarity of centered original-gum examples of the 30c 1869 with grill is somewhat obscured by the availability of off-center copies of the 30c with and without grill. If the scope were narrowed to Scott 121 only, and only grades of Very Fine or Extremely Fine were considered, we estimate that fewer than 15 examples would be counted.

With 1988 P.F. certificate
