VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE USED EXAMPLE OF THE 6-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL RE-ISSUE.

The 6c is the one of the rarest of the set in used condition. SMQ estimates that approximately 30 exist in used condition, which in our experience is a fairly accurate accounting. The example offered here is one of the few well-centered and sound examples.

With 1994 and 2011 P.F. certificates (VF 80)
