24c Brown Lilac (70a). Original gum, lightly hinged, choice centering, bright shade and detailed impression

VERY FINE. A SUPERB ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1861 24-CENT BROWN LILAC IN A REMARKABLE STATE OF FRESHNESS.

The color is a soft brownish shade, which is quite distinctive and much different than the Red Lilac (1862) or later Lilac (1863-66) printings.

With copy of 2001 P.F. certificate for pair
