10c Yellow (116). Bright color, neat and clear strike of green Shield-shaped fancy cancel with rim of circular datestamp at left, reperfed on at least one side (P.F. certificate opines reperfed on both sides)

FINE APPEARANCE AN EXTREMELY RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 10-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL ISSUE WITH A GREEN FANCY CANCEL.

Green cancellations are a favorite of Mr. Gorham and they are well represented on many classic issues in his collection. Most are scarce to rare, but a green cancel on the 10c 1869 Pictorial is extremely rare. The fact that this is a fancy cancel depicting a shield adds to its desirability. Power Search does not contain another Scott 116 cancelled in green -- fancy or otherwise.

With 2020 P.F. certificate. Scott assigns a $5,000.00 premium for a green cancel.
