30c Orange (71). Original gum, lightly hinged, vivid colorVERY FINE AND CHOICE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 30-CENT 1861 ISSUE.
The narrowly-spaced 30c 1861 plate left very little room for the 12-gauge perforations between stamps. Consequently, examples with wide margins at sides are extremely rare -- this fact is acknowledged in the Scott Catalogue footnote to No. 71.
