3c Brown Red, Re-Issue (104). Deep rich color and detailed impression on bright paper, neat strike of duplex cancel, small thin spot at top, tiny corner perf crease at bottom left EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. THIS IS EASILY ONE OF THE FINEST OF THE 20 USED EXAMPLES OF THE 3-CENT 1861 RE-ISSUE RECORDED IN OUR CENSUS. A GREAT RARITY. Our unpublished census of Scott 104 in used condition contains only 20 used examples of the 3c 1861 Re-Issue (one has never been certified). Of these, less than half are sound. By virtue of centering, this is easily one of the finest in our records. Unpublished Census No. 104-CAN-02. Ex Twigg-Smith and Dauer. With 1982 and 2006 P.F. certificates.

1875 Re-issue of 1861-67 issue, 3¢ brown red (104), unusually well centered for the 3c value, gorgeous color on fresh paper, impression so deeply etched, the design seems to have dimension, full fresh original gum that has been relatively lightly hinged, Extremely Fine. Scott $4,750 AN EXCEPTIONALLY FRESH AND CHOICE EXAMPLE OF THIS VERY DIFFICULT 3¢ RE-ISSUE. Expertization: 1972 & 2005 PF Certificates. Other than the notoriously difficult 24¢ and 30¢ values, the 3¢, in our experience, is the most difficult to find truly well centered. When one adds the exceptionally fresh color and the presence of full original gum, the example offered here must be considered one of the very finest extant.
