30c Orange (Scott 38). Vibrant color, perfectly centered with unusually wide and balanced margins, neat strike of grid cancel at center EXTREMELY FINE GEM. EASILY ONE OF THE FINEST USED EXAMPLES OF THE 30-CENT 1860 ISSUE, WITH BRIGHT COLOR, WIDE MARGINS, LONG AND FULL PERFORATIONS AND A CLEAR CANCELLATION. THE 30-CENT IS THE MOST DIFFICULT DENOMINATION OF THE SERIES TO OBTAIN IN SUCH SUPERB CONDITION. As a detail of the block shown at right demonstrates, the outer projections of the design left little room for perforations. The 30c stamps were not printed and put into use until August 1860 (earliest documented use is August 8). The issue was demonetized twelve months later. The denomination was intended to be used primarily on letters to foreign countries. These circumstances of a short life and limited use, combined with Toppan Carpenter’s typically erratic perforating and the narrow space between stamps, are the reasons why superb used examples of the 30c 1860 are so difficult to find. With 1999 P.F. and 2006 P.S.E. certificates (XF-Superb 95, SMQ price $4,750.00). Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Jun 2012, Sale 1024, Lot 85 |

30c Orange (38). Block of twelve, original gum, three stamps Mint N.H. (postions 5-6 and 8), others mostly h.r. incl. few spots where perf separations sensibly reinforced, small areas of gum loss at bottom where possibly tiny thin, bottom left stamp few short perfs at bottom FINE-VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXTREMELY RARE BLOCK OF TWELVE OF THE 30-CENT 1860 ISSUE. THIS IS ONE OF THE LARGEST UNUSED MULTIPLES IN EXISTENCE. A WONDERFUL RARITY. The largest recorded unused multiple is a block of 21 (ex Caspary, Bechtel and Zoellner), followed by a block of 16 (ex Caspary and Lilly). The block offered here is the next-largest unused multiple, followed by a block of nine and a block of eight. None of the two larger multiples contain any Mint N.H. stamps (two are reported in the block of eight). Ex Col. Green. Scott Retail as two blocks of four and two pairs with no premium for the three Mint N.H. stamps. Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Mar 2012, Sale 1021, Lot 194 |

30c Orange (Scott 38). Block of four, original gum, h.r., radiant color as fresh as the day it was printed, few minor internal perf separations affect top stamps FINE. A SCARCE ORIGINAL-GUM BLOCK OF FOUR OF THE 30-CENT 1860 ISSUE. This block clearly demonstrates why it is so difficult to find this issue with choice centering. The narrow space between subjects on the plate makes it almost impossible for the perforations to clear the design on all four sides. Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Mar 2012, Sale 1021, Lot 193 |
