Sale 1010, Lot 104, Washington-Franklin and Panama Pacific Issues6c Red Orange, Bluish (362). Brilliant color on deeply blued paper, full to wide margins and choice centering, bold strike of duplex cancel, partly reperforated at right

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXTREMELY RARE USED EXAMPLE OF THE 6-CENT ON BLUISH PAPER.

We record only thirteen used examples of Scott 362 in our unpublished census, including eleven singles and one pair (plus one stamp with a non-contemporary cancel). Of these, only three have margins and centering that compare to or exceed this example. Seven of the thirteen have flaws to some degree, though a few have older certificates so current condition is uncertain. This stamp represents a rare opportunity to acquire a genuinely used example with Very Fine centering.

Unpublished Census No. 362-CAN-05. With 2011 P.F. certificate
