30c Orange (Scott 38). Vibrant color as fresh as the day it was printed, unusually choice centering for this difficult issue, neat strike of Boston large “Paid” grid cancel 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 EXCEEDINGLY 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 24c, 30c and 90c 1860 high values 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 1984 P.F. and 2005 P.S.E. certificates (XF-Superb 95, SMQ price $4,750.00). Only two have graded higher Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Oct 2012, Sale 1032, Lot 3096 |
