24c Green & Violet (120). Choice centering with wide margins, rich colors on bright paper, cancelled solely by red Leaf cork cancelEXTREMELY FINE USED EXAMPLE OF THE 24-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL ISSUE.
The high-value 1869's are scarce cancelled solely in red, as normally a black cork cancel was struck on the stamp. In our opinion, a 24c 1869 cancelled in this manner was used on a New York City Supplementary Mail cover.
