VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE THE 1861 24-CENT DARK VIOLET EARLY TRIAL PRINTING. ONE OF THE RAREST OF THE 24-CENT 1861-63 ISSUE SHADES.

The Dark Violet trial printing and Violet regular issue shades are often confused, and the Scott Catalogue adds to the confusion by putting the Dark Violet (the old Scott 60) in the Trial Color Proofs section as 70TCe, while the Violet gets a front seat as Scott 70c. In our opinion, there is no good reason to relegate the Dark Violet to the Trial Color Proof section. As a result, the stamp offered here is undercatalogued in relation to other 24c stamps of equal rarity.

487 og 30c Red Orange, First Color (61).> Original gum, intense fiery color, exceptionally choice centering for this rarity, long full perfs all around, very fresh<><>^EXTREMELY FINE. THE 30-CENT 1861 FIRST COLOR IS
EXCEEDINGLY RARE IN COMPLETELY SOUND CO30c Red Orange, First Color (61). Original gum, intense fiery color, exceptionally choice centering for this rarity, long full perfs all around, very fresh

EXTREMELY FINE. THE 30-CENT 1861 FIRST COLOR IS EXCEEDINGLY RARE IN COMPLETELY SOUND CONDITION. THIS WONDERFUL STAMP, WITH ORIGINAL GUM AND FLAWLESS IN EVERY RESPECT, IS WITHOUT QUESTION ONE OF THE FINEST OF THE 30 RECORDED EXAMPLES.

Our census of the 30c 1861 First Color (available at http://siegelauctions.com/enc/census/61.pdf) contains a total of 30 examples, including one in The New York Public Library collection. A characteristic common to most examples of the 30c 1861 First Color is faint creasing, which in some cases is very severe and in others barely visible. Six stamps with original gum are free of faults, although a few have a trivial nibbed perf or two. All of the sound stamps are centered to one side (as are most of the others). It has been 20 years since our firm offered a sound original-gum example of this rare 1861 trial printing.

Census No. 61-OG-05. Ex Col. Edward H. R. Green and Chapin. With 1993 and 2003 P.F. certificates. (Image)
