Sale 959, Lot 2422, 1879 American Bank Note Co. Issue (Scott 182-191)30c Full Black (190). Original gum, lightly hinged, bright shade, gorgeous centering with Jumbo margins

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A MASSIVELY-MARGINED ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 30-CENT 1879 AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY ISSUE.

With 1987, 1990 and 2008 P.F. certificates (XF 90 Jumbo; SMQ $2,300.00 as 90, $3,950.00 as 95). Given the sheer size and centering we are surprised this did not grade much higher, perhaps P.S.E. would see otherwise
