24c Pale Gray Violet, Thin Paper (70d). Remarkably choice centering for this difficult issue, intense shade and proof-like impression on crisp paper, neat strike of circle of wedges within circle cancel EXTREMELY FINE. A STUNNING USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1861 24-CENT IN THE PALE GRAY VIOLET COLOR. The 24c Pale Gray Violet shade, Scott 70d, comes from an early 1861 printing on thin paper, a characteristic shared by the Violet and Steel Blue stamps. Scott 70d’s rarity has been more widely recognized in recent years — we have only sold two with original gum since keeping computerized records, and we have sold very few sound used copies in Extremely Fine condition. Ex Zoellner. With 1994 P.F. certificate. Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Jun 2012, Sale 1024, Lot 119 |
