The 1875 $36.00 Continental Newspapers & Periodicals issue is very rare in centered original-gum condition. We have offered only two other comparable examples since this stamp was sold in our 2002 sale of the Drucker collection -- one in our 2004 "Vineyard" sale and one in our 2016 sale of the Inman collection. Every other stamp either has a fault or only Fine centering.
Ex Drucker. With 1986 and 2002 P.F. certificate.
