15c Brown & Blue, Ty. II, Center Inverted (119b). Rich colors, neat strike of rosette cancel, small thin spot in grill, light corner creases at top right not mentioned on accompanying certificate

A VERY FINE APPEARING USED EXAMPLE OF THE 15-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL INVERT. ONLY 92 COPIES ARE RECORDED IN OUR CENSUS.

Our census of 1869 Inverts, published in the February 1999 Chronicle and updated with three new stamps, contains 92 examples of the 15c Invert, including three unused and 89 used (one in the British Library's Tapling collection). Examples of this rare 15c 1869 Invert are almost always faulty and/or off center. This well-centered stamp does not have any obvious defects and ranks among the finest examples extant.

Census No. 119b-CAN-CE03. With 1969 P.F. certificate.
