3c Red, F. Grill (94). Deep rich color, perfect strike of "A.J." (Andrew Johnson) Tombstone with Skull and Crossbones fancy cancel of Waterbury Conn. (Rohloff R-5), Extremely Fine strike, rarely struck with this degree of completeness and clarity -- Andrew Johnson assumed the presidency after the assassination of Lincoln in 1865, he was unable to secure the nomination for the 1868 election, partly because he had alienated many politicians and the public, this sentiment is reflected in the fancy cancel, with 1986 and 2001 P.F. certificates
