Sale 1362, Lot 1156, 10c-90c 1857-60 Issue (Scott 31-39)

12c Black, Plate 3 (36B). Superbly centered, intense shade and impression providing the background for a vivid red grid cancel, wonderfully fresh

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. THE PERFORATED 12-CENT STAMPS FROM PLATE 3 ARE EXCEEDINGLY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN HIGH-GRADE USED CONDITION. THIS SPECTACULAR STAMP WITH A RED CANCEL AND GRADED XF-SUPERB 95 BY P.S.E. IS ONE OF THE MOST OUTSTANDING USED EXAMPLES WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED.

Ex "European Connoisseur". With 2015 P.S.E. certificate (XF-Superb 95). There is only one graded higher (98) and 13 others share this grade, but this is one of even fewer with a red cancel.
