E. K. Smith, 1c Blue, Watermarked, Rouletted (RO169d). Large to huge margins including portion of the design from the stamp below, bright color, light diagonal crease at bottom left and small thin spots

EXTREMELY FINE APPEARING EXAMPLE OF THE EXCEEDINGLY RARE ONE-CENT E. K. SMITH ROULETTED PRIVATE DIE MATCH STAMP.

Ten copies of the E. K. Smith Roulette are recorded in the Aldrich census, of which eight are faulty. He notes "the condition is usually very, very poor." and states he would not be surprised if half were actually fakes. The huge margins on this stamp preclude fakery, the possibility of which casts a shadow over several other examples of this issue.
