3c Rose, Horizontally Laid Paper (65b). Horizontal strip of three, clear laid lines, brilliant color and crisp impression, neat strike of double-circle datestamp and target cancels, well-balanced margins, Very Fine-Extremely Fine, a scarce and desirable multiple, ex Chapin, with 1993 A.P.S. and 1994 P.F. certificates as strip of four, Brookman notes "It is known on both horizontally and vertically laid paper, in used and unused condition in each instance. It is not common in either form despite the fact that such varieties in used condition do not at present carry a very high premium", Scott Retail as singles
