Sale 1247, Lot 314, 1875 Continental Bank Note Co. Hard Paper Special Printing (Scott 167-177)30c Greenish Black, Special Printing (176). Without gum as issued, scissors-separated perfs as usual with complete perfs on three sides and partially complete at bottom, intense shade and impression, outstanding centering with balanced margins

EXTREMELY FINE CENTERING. A GORGEOUS EXAMPLE OF THE 30-CENT 1875 CONTINENTAL BANK NOTE COMPANY SPECIAL PRINTING.

Our census of Scott 176 contains 50 examples, including one in the Miller collection owned by the New York Public Library. Of these, fewer than ten have perforations on all four sides. This example, with nearly full perforations and choice centering is very desirable.

Census no. 176-UNC-50. With 2009 P.S.E. certificate (VG 50). The grade on this stamp is affected by the scissors-separation and is not reflective of the centering.
