Choice centering with enormous margins, deep rich colors and proof-like
impressions on bright paper, bold circle of wedges cancelEXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE 24-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL ISSUE. ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT VALUES OF THE SET TO OBTAIN WITH SUCH WIDE MARGINS. The cancel and the cancelling ink on this stamp are identical to the circle of wedges applied at the U.S. Postal Agency in Shanghai, as found on the famous Bradford cover with the 30c 1869. With 1986 and 2001 P.F. certificates (Image) |
