Sale 1120, Lot 1321, 1875 Re-Issue of 1869 Pictorial Issue (Scott 123-133a)15c Brown & Blue, Re-Issue (129). Beautifully centered with wide and balanced margins, deep rich colors and sharp impressions on bright paper, light strike of Cleveland oval registry cancel frames the vignette leaving the entire design clearly visible

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SENSATIONAL USED EXAMPLE OF THE 15-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL RE-ISSUE IN THE FINEST ATTAINABLE CONDITION, WITH WIDE MARGINS, RICH COLOR, AND A BEAUTIFULLY-PLACED CANCEL.

The Type III design of the 15c Re-Issue is similar to the Type I, except it lacks shading lines around the vignette. According to SMQ approximately 70 used examples are known. Our experience has been that most are either faulty or off-center.

Ex "Natalee Grace". With 1992 P.F. and 2015 P.S.A.G. certificates (95 used).
