1c Ultramarine (63a). Original gum, lightly hinged, radiant color in this distinctive shade

VERY FINE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE ONE-CENT 1861 ISSUE IN THE RARE ULTRAMARINE SHADE.

In his 1c book, Don Evans devotes almost an entire column on p. 33 to a discussion of the Ultramarine shade. He notes it is "extremely scarce" and that apart from the Ultramarine and Indigo shades, "the remaining shades are comparatively plentiful."
