#359, 3c Deep violet on bluish paper, gem right sheet-margin example, marvelously well centered within uncharacteristically large margins, deeply rich shade and an extraordinarily well incised impression on fresh paper, especially clean o.g. with just the barest suggestion of a hinge mark, extremely fine.[cr][lf][cr][lf]The Three Cent Bluish Paper is not only rare, but is also particularly elusive to find well centered and margined. The example offered here is one of the finest quality copies we have ever offered in our auctions. Its centering, size of margins and prooflike color and impression all combine to create a stamp of exceptional beauty and eye appeal.[cr][lf][cr][lf]Accompanied by 1985 (for a block of four from which this stamp was taken) and 1999 PF certificates. Estimate US$ 3,000-3,500
