30c Orange (Scott 38). Block of six, Positions 77-79/87-89L1, both right stamps with double transfer, original gum, vibrant color with just a faint hint of oxidation (easily removed) VERY FINE. A RARE ORIGINAL-GUM BLOCK OF SIX OF THE 30-CENT 1860 ISSUE. ORIGINAL-GUM MULTIPLES LARGER THAN A BLOCK OF FOUR ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND. ESPECIALLY DESIRABLE WITH THE TWO DOUBLE TRANSFER POSITIONS.
