Sale 1227, Lot 2414, 1875 Re-Issue of 1861-66 Issue (Scott 102-111)30c Brownish Orange, Re-Issue (110). Unused (no gum), intense color on bright paper, unusually wide margins

VERY FINE AND CHOICE UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 30-CENT 1861 RE-ISSUE.

The 30c Re-Issue was printed from the original plate of 200 subjects. 10,000 stamps were printed (50 impressions). Only 346 of the 30c were sold; the remaining 9,654 were destroyed on July 16, 1884.

Little space was left on the 30c 1861 plate for vertical rows of perforations between stamps, and the same plate was used for the 1875 Re-Issue. Therefore, well-centered copies with perforations clear at the sides are rare.

Ex Wingate. With 1986 P.F. certificate
