Rich colors, better centering than normally encountered with margins clear of design all around, strong herringbone cancel which has been treated with some white filler in places where it breaks the paper, thin spot at right

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 20-CENT SECOND ISSUE WITH INVERTED CENTER.
