3c Black Trial Color Proof on Wove Paper (11TC5). Margins all around, three vertical pen strokes neatly applied by printer, plated by Dr. Chase as Position 18R4

VERY FINE. THE BETTER OF ONLY TWO KNOWN EXAMPLES OF THE FINISHED 3-CENT DESIGN IN BLACK. A STRIKING RARITY.

Ex Brazer, Joyce and Piller. The Scott Retail value has not changed since this example was offered in our 1993 Piller sale
