3c Pink (Scott 64). Original gum, barest trace of hinging (2010 Weiss certificate calls it Mint N.H.), natural gum bend at bottom, vivid color in the true Pink shade, nice centering with ample to full margins all around, short perf at bottom left and tiny corner perf crease at bottom right VERY FINE APPEARING ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1861 3-CENT PINK. ONE OF THE RAREST 1861 ISSUE SHADES IN ORIGINAL-GUM CONDITION. 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 and barely hinged gum. With 2010 Weiss certificate as Mint N.H. with “light vertical gum crease.” With 2011 P.F. certificate as previously hinged.
