11-E1

1851, 3¢ Numeral essay, by Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson, original die (Scott 11-E1), an exciting piece of stamp production history, an original steel die used to produce this unadopted design essay; die's face measures 43½ x 38 mm, with lip at top for rolling under the press; engraver's horizontal guide lines visible across top of design and at its bottom right; the engraving itself—somehow never cancelled—is deep and hardly worn at all; some staining to left side of die just into frame lines, with any pitting to the steel appearing to fall short of the design, Very Fine, an unique and amazing item.
