Based on our own independent expert analysis, including comparison with the uniform widths of other 24¢ 1861 issues and the complete absence of any telltale straight edge along the left side, we fully agree with the 2024 P.F. conclusion that the stamp is not reperforated, o.g., previously hinged, Radiant, vibrant color gleaming on fresh paper; corner crease at top and very light horizontal wrinkle, Fine, with 2024 P.F. certificate and 1994 P.S.E. certificate.

Based on our own independent expert analysis-including comparison with the uniform heights of other 24¢ 1861 issues, and the fact that natural straight edges did not exist at the top or bottom (as these stamps were printed in panes of 200 and cut vertically along the center guideline according to Luff), we fully agree with the 2025 P.F. conclusion that the stamp is not reperforated, unused without gum, Remarkably bright on fresh / clean paper; tiny thin, Fine, with 2025 P.F. certificate and 2012 P.S.A.G. certificate.
