SMQ estimates that approximately 40 used copies exist and our own experience confirms this estimate. Most are either off-center or have small faults and nearly all have black cancels. A Power Search review found only one other used example with any kind of colored cancel -- also a magenta/purple cork -- but much less clearly struck than on the example offered here.
With 2000 P.F. certificate. Scott Retail for a normal black cancel
