15c Brown & Blue, Re-Issue (129). Original gum, incredibly deep rich colors and proof-like impression, beautifully centered with enormous margins on all sidesEXTREMELY FINE. A SUPERB ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 15-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL RE-ISSUE.
The Type III design of the 15c Re-Issue is similar to the Type I, except it lacks shading lines around the vignette. The Rose book (p. 104) notes that essays of Type III are known from 1868, indicating this type was contemplated but never used for the original 1869 Issue.
Ex Wingate. With 2000 P.F. certificate
