About the Re-Issues of 1861-66 Stamps: According to the Scott Specialized Catalogue of United States Stamps & Covers, the re-issues of the 1861-66 stamps can be distinguished from the originals by “the brighter colors, the sharper proof-like impressions and the paper which is very white instead of yellowish. The gum is almost always somewhat yellowed with age, and unused stamps with original gum are valued with such gum…. While it was legal to use Nos. 102-111 as postage, their actual use is generally rare and is mostly confined to dealers using them on registered mail.”
