30c Brown, Treasury, Soft Paper (O112). Original gum, lightly hinged, pretty shade and crisp impression, wide and balanced marginsVERY FINE AND CHOICE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 30-CENT TREASURY DEPARTMENT ON SOFT PAPER. A DIFFICULT ISSUE TO OBTAIN IN SUCH CHOICE CONDITION.
A Power Search review shows the last time we offered a comparable example was in our 2016 Inman sale. Most are either off-center or have small faults such as thin spots that can occur with this soft paper. For graded, the highest grade awarded by P.S.E. is one at 70. The P.F. has graded one at 90 (last offered by us in 2003) and one at 85 (also last offered by us in 2003).
With 1986 and 1990 P.F. certificates.
