6c Pink (186). Original gum, lightly hinged, uncommonly wide margins and precise centering, fresh and bright with the classic pastel Pink color of the 1879 American Bank Note Co. soft paper issue

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 6-CENT 1879 AMERICAN BANK NOTE ISSUE.

This is a difficult issue to find in such choice condition. Collectors who are waiting for a similarly-centered Mint N.H. copy are advised to consider the stamp offered here -- we have offered only one Mint N.H. single since keeping computerized records (in the Odeneal collection, which realized $12,000 hammer).
