3c Lake (66). Original gum, lightly hinged, beautiful centering with wide margins, vivid color and sharp proof-like impressionEXTREMELY FINE. A GORGEOUS ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1861 LAKE TRIAL PRINTING.
A review using Power Search reveals how difficult the 3c Lake is to find with full original gum and choice centering. Most examples have perfs touching or in on at least one side. We have offered fewer than ten examples that compare favorably to this stamp in the last 25 years.
