3186 og Image3c Pink (64). Original gum, vivid color in the true Pink shade, well-centered with perfs clear of design all around, slight perf crease at lower right not mentioned on any of three accompanying certificates

VERY FINE APPEARING ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1861 3-CENT PINK. ONE OF THE RAREST 1861 ISSUE SHADES IN ORIGINAL-GUM CONDITION.

The nature of the ink used to print the 3c Pink shade is such that over the course of time, with exposure to light and other adverse elements, the color tends to oxidize or lose its vibrancy. This is a desirable example with vibrant color.

Ex Cole. With 1945 A.P.S. certificate. With 1988 and 1991 P.F. certificates (Image)
