1c Blue, Re-Issue (102). Original gum, lightly hinged, deep rich color, crisp paper, outstanding centering with unusually wide and balanced margins

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE ONE-CENT 1861 RE-ISSUE, GRADED XF-SUPERB 95 BY P.S.E.

The 1c Re-Issue was printed from a new plate of 100 subjects, compared to the original plate of 200 in two panes. 10,000 stamps were printed (100 impressions). 3,195 of the 1c were sold, by far the largest quantity of any denomination of the set. However, few would grade as highly as the example offered here. The remaining 6,805 were destroyed on July 16, 1884.

With 1997 P.F. and 2003 P.S.E. certificates (OG, XF-Superb 95; SMQ $2,750.00)
