 30c Orange (71). Original gum, bright color and beautiful Jumbo margins, almost perfectly centeredEXTREMELY FINE. AN OUTSTANDING ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 30-CENT ORANGE 1861 ISSUE, WHICH
HAS BEEN GRADED XF 90 JUMBO BY P.S.E. -- THIS IS THE HIGHEST GRADE AWARDED TO DATE AND THE ONLY EXAMPLE TO ACHIEVE THIS GRADE. AN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT STAMP TO FIND IN THE HIGHER GRADES. The narrowly-spaced 30c 1861 plate left very little room
for the 12-gauge perforations between stamps. Consequently, examples with wide margins at sides are extremely rare -- this fact is acknowledged in the Scott Catalogue footnote to No. 71. With 2008 P.S.E. certificate (XF 90 Jumbo, SMQ $6,900.00
for 90, $15,600.00 for 95). This is the highest grade awarded to date for an original-gum stamp and the only example to achieve this grade. (Image) Search for comparables at SiegelAuctions.com |
