30c Orange (Scott 38). Vibrant color as fresh as the day it was printed, nicely complemented by red grid cancel, unusually choice centering for this difficult issue, long and full perforations all around EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A GORGEOUS USED EXAMPLE OF THE 30-CENT 1860 ISSUE WHICH HAS BEEN GRADED XF-SUPERB 95 BY P.S.E. AN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT STAMP TO FIND IN SUCH SUPERB USED CONDITION. The 30c 1860 challenges collectors for several reasons. First, the subjects were closely spaced together on the plate, leaving almost no room for perforations and little opportunity to create stamps with perforations clear of the design on all four sides. Second, the 30c and 90c 1860 were only in circulation for a brief period before the series was demonetized in the Fall of 1861. Third, this high-denomination stamp was issued for use on transatlantic mail, and postal clerks were careful to thoroughly cancel the stamps to prevent cleaning and re-use. Therefore, 30c 1860 stamps in sound, well-centered and lightly-cancelled condition defy all circumstances and are extremely rare. With 1998 and 2005 P.F. and 2006 P.S.E. certificates (XF-Superb 95, SMQ $4,700.00). There is a 95J and a 98J Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Jun 2010, Sale 989, Lot 79 |
