Sale 1305, Lot 2283, 1857-60 Issue and 1875 Reprint (Scott 18-47)

12c Greenish Black, Reprint (44). Without gum as issued, intense shade and detailed impression on bright paper, outstanding centering for this difficult issue

EXTREMELY FINE. A GORGEOUS EXAMPLE OF THE 12-CENT 1857 REPRINT, IN THE FINEST CONDITION.

The narrow spaces between stamps on the 12c 1857 Reprint plate allowed almost no room for large 12-gauge perforations, and the Reprints were generally perforated into parts of the design. Only 489 were sold, and examples such as this, with the frame lines complete on all four sides, are extremely rare.

With 2023 P.S.E. certificate (XF 90). Only one grades higher (at 90J) and only four others share this grade.
