24c Gray Lilac, 30c Orange, 90c Blue, Imperforate (37b, 38a, 39a). Complete set, huge margins to clear incl. 24c with sheet margin at bottom, unused (no gum), rich colors

VERY FINE. A SCARCE COMPLETE SET OF THE 1860 IMPERFORATE ISSUE. THIS IS A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE ALL THREE VALUES OF THIS IMPERFORATE VARIETY AT ONCE.

According to Brookman, the 24c, 30c and 90c 1860 Imperforates come from a trial printing of the finished designs submitted to the Postmaster General for final opinion. The designs and colors match the regular issues (unlike essays and trial color proofs). For many years these were listed in the front of Scott Catalogue. Only one pair of the 90c is known, which we sold in our 1994 Rarities sale.

30c with 1952 P.F. and 90c with 1972 P.F. certificates
