30c Brownish Orange, Re-Issue (110). Original gum, vibrant color, choice centering with well-balanced margins

EXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 30-CENT 1861 RE-ISSUE. ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT VALUES OF THE SERIES TO OBTAIN IN SUCH CHOICE CONDITION.

The 30c Re-Issue was printed from the original plate of 200 subjects. 10,000 stamps were printed (50 impressions). Only 346 of the 30c were sold; the remaining 9,654 were destroyed on July 16, 1884.

With 2009 and 2013 P.F. certificates (VF-XF 85). This stamp is extremely difficult to obtain in the higher grades. P.S.E. has graded one at 90 and two at 85. The P.F. has graded two at 85 with none higher. This is the first graded example we have offered since 2010.
