6c Rose (208). Original gum, lightly hinged, fresh color on white paper, beautifully centeredEXTREMELY FINE GEM. AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE OF THE ROSE SHADE. AN ELUSIVE STAMP IN THIS SUPERIOR GRADE.
Despite being the major Scott listing, the Rose shade is far rarer than the Brown Red, Scott No. 208a, in well-centered and sound condition. As an indication of rarity, we have only offered one Mint N.H. example since keeping computerized records, which was off center.
