3c Pink (Scott 64). Original gum, vibrant color in the true Pink shade, choice centering with well-balanced margins, vertical bend (as usual) and single short perf at right center, neither mentioned on accompanying certificates VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1861 3-CENT PINK. The nature of the ink used to print the 3c Pink shade is such that over the course of time, with exposure to light and other adverse elements, the color tends to oxidize or lose its vibrancy. This is a desirable example with vibrant color. With copy of 1956 note (with photo showing intact right perf) from Ashbrook confirming this as a Pink. With 1965 and 1995 P.F. certificates as sound (both show the short perf)
