3c Pink (64). Original gum, very lightly hinged, perfectly centered, beautiful bright shade with strong Pink hue

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. THE 3-CENT 1861 PINK IS EXTREMELY RARE IN SOUND ORIGINAL-GUM CONDITION. THIS STAMP IS WITHOUT QUESTION ONE OF THE FINEST IN EXISTENCE.

Examples of the 1861 3c Pink with original gum are almost invariably creased and/or toned. This stamp is a rare exception, and its centering and color place it among the finest of the original-gum copies extant.

Ex Geisler. With 2003 P.F. certificate. Also accompanied by copy of 1956 note from Stanley Ashbrook who notes "I believe that we seldom find an unused copy in as fine a tint as this stamp"
