3c Pink (64). Mint N.H., outstanding centering with balanced margins, radiant color with the desirable bluish cast sometimes seen in this shade and more often seen in the famous Pigeon Blood Pink shade

EXTREMELY FINE. AN INCALCULABLY RARE CENTERED MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 1861 3-CENT PINK. THIS IS WITHOUT QUESTION ONE OF THE FINEST EXAMPLES OF SCOTT 64 EXTANT.

The 1861 3c Pink, Scott 64, is one of the most difficult stamps of the 1861-66 Issue to find in sound, well-centered, original-gum condition. As difficult as that is, finding one in Mint N.H. condition is another matter entirely. We have never offered a Mint N.H. example in any condition since keeping computerized records in 1993 or in Rarities sales going back to 1964. This example is not only Mint N.H., it is sound and with very choice centering. This is a true condition rarity of the 1861 Issue and a stamp destined for a connoisseur of classic philately.

With 2021 P.F. certificate (NH, XF 90). Scott value as hinged
