 1c Ultramarine (63a). Mint N.H., radiant color in
the distinctive Ultramarine shade, well-proportioned margins with long and full perforationsA BEAUTIFUL MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE ONE-CENT 1861 ISSUE IN THE SCARCE ULTRAMARINE SHADE. With 2007 P.S.E. certificate (VF-XF 85; this
shade is unlisted as unused in SMQ), quoting catalogue value for the normal shade would be very misleading -- we have offered only two other unused and two used examples since keeping computerized records. Scott Retail as hinged $2,500.00 (Image) Search for comparables at

 3c Pink (64). Original gum, lightly hinged,
bright color in the true Pink shade, choice centeringEXTREMELY FINE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1861 3-CENT PINK. ONE OF THE RAREST 1861 ISSUE SHADES IN THIS CHOICE ORIGINAL-GUM CONDITION. The 3c 1861 Pink (Scott 64) is one of the most
difficult stamps of the 1861-66 Issue to find in sound, well-centered, original-gum condition with fresh color. The nature of the ink used to print the 3c Pink shade is such that over the course of time, with exposure to light and other adverse
elements, the color tends to oxidize or lose its vibrancy. Collectors who have searched in vain for a 3c Pink in such condition will appreciate the rarity of this stamp in such a remarkable state of preservation. Others who may be less familiar
with the rarity of this early 1861 Issue -- and perhaps deceived by the abundance of common 3c 1861 shades (Scott 65) -- are urged to consider the extreme rarity of Scott 64 in sound original-gum condition. Ex "Scarsdale". With 2003 and 2016
