15c Black, Re-Issue (108). Intense shade and impression, bold strike of "6" oval grid duplex cancel at left, choice centering with wide margins

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A RARE SOUND USED EXAMPLE OF THE 15-CENT 1866 RE-ISSUE. ONLY FIFTEEN ARE RECORDED IN OUR CENSUS.

The 15c Re-Issue was printed from the original plate of 200 subjects. 10,000 stamps were printed (50 impressions). Only 397 of the 15c were sold; the remaining 9,603 were destroyed on July 16, 1884.

Our census of Scott 108 used, available at our website at http://siegelauctions.com/dynamic/census/108/108.pdf , records only 15 examples. The centering and placement of the cancel on the stamp offered here makes this one of the finest known.

Census No. 108-CAN-12. With 2000 P.S.E., 2001 and 2014 P.F. certificates.
