24c Blackish Violet, Reprint (45). Without gum as issued, deep rich color

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 1978 P.F. certificate
