24c Blackish Violet, Reprint (45). Without gum as issued, deep rich color on bright paper, attractive centering and margins

FRESH AND VERY FINE EXAMPLE OF THE 24-CENT 1860 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 or into the design.

With two 2017 P.F. certificates (one VF 80). Scott values this issue in the grade of Fine.
