30c Ultramarine & Carmine (121). Original gum, brilliant colors on bright paper, choice centeringVERY FINE AND CHOICE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 30-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL ISSUE. A BEAUTIFUL STAMP.
The grilled 30c 1869 is rarely found in well-centered original-gum condition -- the few surviving multiples are poorly centered -- and it is actually rarer in such condition than its ungrilled counterpart, Scott 121a, or the 30c Re-Issue, Scott 131.
