GRAY SHADE. Collectors looking for Gem quality stamps (unused and used) from the 1857 perforated issue know that one of the most difficult denominations to obtain is the 24c value. The margins are often narrow, with the design almost always
touched (if not in) at top or bottom. This is the finest original-gum example of the 24c Gray shade we have offered in years. With 1987 and 2005 P.F. certificates (Image) |
