12c Green (117). Original
gum, lightly hinged, perfectly centered within extraordinarily wide
margins, absolutely beautiful deep shade and intense proof-like
impressionEXTREMELY FINE GEM. A PHENOMENAL EXAMPLE OF THE 12-CENT 1869 ISSUE. THE 12-CENT IS ONE OF THE MORE DIFFICULT 1869 ISSUES TO FIND IN THIS ORIGINAL-GUM CONDITION. SUPERB IN EVERY RESPECT.

15c Brown & Blue, Ty. I
(118). Deep rich colors, wide margins, cancelled by perfect strike of
"New Orleans La. Mar. 31" (1869) cdsVERY FINE. THE EARLIEST DATED EXAMPLE OF THE 15-CENT TYPE I OR ANY OF THE 1869 PICTORIAL BICOLORS.
This Type I stamp was written up in Chronicle 127. The small circular datestamp was used at New Orleans from 1866 thru August 1869. By September a larger style of circular datestamp replaced this type of device. By March 1870, Type I stamps had long been superseded by Type II.

15c Brown & Blue, Ty. II
(119). Large part original gum, breathtaking deep rich colors,
perfectly centered within wide marginsEXTREMELY FINE. AN ASTONISHING EXAMPLE OF THE 15-CENT TYPE II 1869 PICTORIAL -- PROOFLIKE IN COLOR AND IMPRESSION, PERFECTLY CENTERED AND AS FRESH AS THE DAY IT WAS ISSUED. A MINIATURE WORK OF ART.
This 15c Pictorial exhibits an extremely desirable depth of color that is infrequently seen in used examples and very rarely found unused. Reflecting on past sales, we cannot recall another example with this clarity of impression and brilliant color that retained any part of its original gum. Factoring in the superb centering, we feel confident in describing this stamp as one of the finest known examples.
