6c Blue, Re-Issue (126). Deep rich color and proof-like impression, bold strike of registry oval cancelVERY FINE AND CHOICE 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, and our own informal count concurs. The example offered here is easily one of the finest in existence -- most are either off-center or have flaws.
Ex Dauer. With 1967, 2000 and 2008 P.F. certificates
