Sale 1159, Lot 180, 1879-88 American Bank Note Co. Issues (Scott 182-191)6c Pink (186). Mint N.H., rich color, well-centered for this difficult issue with wide and nicely balanced margins

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. AN EXTREMELY RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 1879 6-CENT AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY ISSUE.

A review of our past auctions plus the records of the P.F. and P.S.E. demonstrates how rare this issue is in Mint N.H. condition. We have offered only three other singles, plus a block of nine with mixed centering. The P.F. has only certified a handful of singles stating Mint N.H.

With 1978 and 2009 P.F. certificates (VF 80)
