Sale 1227, Lot 2311, 1861-66 Issue (Scott 56-78)3c Pink (64). Original gum, radiant color in the true Pink shade, vertical crease at center

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A SCARCE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1861 3-CENT PINK

The 3c 1861 Pink (Scott 64) is one of the most difficult stamps of the 1861-66 Issue to find in sound, well-centered, original-gum condition with fresh color. The nature of the ink used to print the 3c Pink shade is such that over the course of time, with exposure to light and other adverse elements, the color tends to oxidize or lose its vibrancy. The example offered here retains that vibrancy of color.

With 1954 A.P.S. and 2008 P.S.E. certificates
