1c Vermilion (J29). Mint N.H., brilliant color and fresh, well-centered for this early Bureau issueA VERY FINE AND EXCEEDINGLY RARE STAMP TO FIND IN MINT NEVER-HINGED CONDITION.
As an indication of rarity, the Zoellner collection contained a hinged example, because years of searching failed to uncover a suitable Mint N.H. copy. We have offered only seven Mint N.H. examples since keeping computerized records, two of which have perfs into the design.
Ex Whitman. With 1993 and 2010 P.S.E. certificates (Fine 70; SMQ $2,100.00). Only one other is graded, at 80.
