1a [1856 3 cent Dark Carmine with Yellow Gum] Mint F-VF (3.5 margins) with full yellow gum. A very nice example, with only very slight discoloration. (Keep in mind that the #1a yellow gum and #1 brown gum were official regumming because the original shipment #1b with white gum was damaged by sea water. Some minor discoloration is typical.) Very fresh and bright example that will look great in any collection.
