 24c Brown Lilac (70a).
Distinctive Deep Brown Lilac shade -- seen among used examples but very
rarely seen with original gum -- the gum is full and has characteristic
brownish toning, bright white paper and unusually
well-centeredEXTREMELY FINE FOR A 24-CENT 1861 SHADE. RARELY
ENCOUNTERED WITH ORIGINAL GUM. A MUST-HAVE STAMP FOR THE COLLECTOR
ASSEMBLING A RANGE OF THE 1861 COLORS. As noted in several of the
descriptions of original-gum 1861's in our past sales, these stamps are
available in unused no-gum condition or low grades of original-gum
condition, however, the combination of original gum and choice centering is
so rare that Scott values can be very misleading. In the case of this 24c,
the unusually-deep Brown Lilac shade adds another dimension of rarity --
perhaps comparable to the difference between a 5c Red Brown (75) and 5c
Brown (76). With 1998 P.S.E. and 1999 P.F. certificates (both state
"previously hinged") (Image) |

 24c Violet, Thin Paper
(70c). Original gum, deep rich color and proof-like impression, choice
centering with well-balanced margins, small gum covered thin spot at top
leftVERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1861
24-CENT VIOLET ON THIN PAPER. The 24c 1861 exists in four basic shades
of Violet. All four are rare, especially in sound original-gum condition.
The stamp offered here is remarkable in that the Violet ink retains much of
its purplish hue, especially in the darker engraved areas, which is most
unusual among unused or original-gum examples. With 2001 P.F.
certificate (Image) |
