Sale 1159, Lot 136, 1869 Pictorial Issue (Scott 112-122)15c Brown & Blue, Ty. I (118). Original gum, fresh colors, well-centered with balanced margins

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A BEAUTIFUL SOUND ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 15-CENT TYPE I 1869 PICTORIAL ISSUE.

This is a very difficult stamp to obtain in sound condition with original gum and nice centering. The P.S.E. Population Report statistics bear this out, with only two stamps graded higher than the example offered here.

With 1994 P.F. and 2017 P.S.E. certificates (OGph, VF 80; SMQ $9,500.00)
