24c Blackish Violet, Reprint (45). Without gum as issued, deep rich color on bright paper, well-centered

VERY FINE EXAMPLE OF THE 24-CENT 1857 REPRINT.

The Continental Bank Note Company reprinted the 24c stamp from the original plate of 200 subjects. 10,000 were printed (50 impressions). Only 479 were sold; the remaining 9,521 were destroyed on July 23, 1884. Due to the narrow spacing between subjects, most have perforations touching the design at either top or bottom.

With 2015 P.S.E. certificate (VF 80; SMQ $4,250.00)
