24c Pink, 1894 Issue (PR96). Light purple Cincinnati O. straightline handstamp, characteristic pastel shade, well-centered within particularly wide margins, light vertical wrinkle

VERY FINE AND IMMENSELY RARE. ONE OF ONLY TWO RECORDED USED EXAMPLES OF THE 24-CENT 1894 FIRST BUREAU ISSUE. THIS IS EASILY THE FINER OF THE TWO.

The only other recorded used example that we can find was offered in the Richard Collier sale in 2009. That example was centered to the top left, had a corner crease and surface scrape.

With 2005 P.S.E. certificate
