30c Ultramarine & Carmine (121). Original gum, lightly hinged, bright colors, unusually wide margins
VERY FINE AND CHOICE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 30-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL ISSUE. SCARCE WITH SUCH WIDE MARGINS.
With 2005 P.F. and 2006 P.S.E. certificates (OGph, VF 80)—based on the width of even the narrowest margin, we are surprised this did not merit a VF-XF 85 grade.
