Very few are as well-centered as the stamp offered here.

291° og Image3c Blue, Re-Issue (125). Original gum, choice centering with well-balanced margins, fresh color

EXTREMELY FINE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 3-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL RE-ISSUE.

Original sales figures show that among the 1869 Pictorial Re-Issues, the 3c and 90c stamps accounted for the smallest number of units sold (1,406 and 1,356, respectively). Overall, the 1869's were popular with stamp collectors, far outselling the 1851-60 and 1861-66 Re-Issue sets. However, the 90c stamp's high denomination and the availability of ordinary 3c stamps limited demand. Today, both are rare, and handling over the years has not been kind to most of the surviving examples.

With 2000, 2006 P.F. and 2005 P.S.E. certificates (OGph, VF-XF 85, SMQ $8,550.00). Only three original-gum examples have graded higher (two at 90, one at 95). This is the only example graded 85 (Image)

292   Image3c Blue, Re-Issue (125). Rich color, bold strike of "29" duplex cancel, few thin spots, single pulled perf at top

VERY FINE APPEARING EXAMPLE OF THE 3-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL RE-ISSUE. THE RAREST OF THE 1869 PICTORIAL RE-ISSUES IN USED CONDITION.

Our census of Scott 125 in used condition, available at our website at http://siegelauctions.com/dynamic/census/125/125.pdf , contains only fifteen copies. An example on cover was offered in the 1956 Caspary sale, but its current whereabouts is unknown.

Ex Twigg-Smith. With 1998 P.F. certificate. Scott Catalogue states "The used value is for an attractive example with minimal faults." (Image)

293   Image6c Blue, Re-Issue (126). Deep rich color and proof-like impression, bold strike of registry oval cancel

VERY FINE AND CHOICE USED EXAMPLE OF THE 6-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL RE-ISSUE.

The 6c is the one of the rarest of the set in used condition. SMQ estimates that approximately 30 exist in used condition, and our own informal count concurs. The example offered here is easily one of the finest in existence -- most are either off-center or have flaws.
