15c Brown & Blue, Ty. II (119). Original gum, intense colors and proof-like impressions, unusually choice centering with wide marginsEXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 15-CENT TYPE II 1869 PICTORIAL ISSUE. AN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT STAMP TO FIND IN SUCH CHOICE CONDITION.
Even though the supply of Type II stamps is more plentiful than its Type I counterpart, we have found that is at least as difficult (if not more so) to find in such superb condition. This superb stamp has the brilliance of its re-issue counterpart, Scott 129, which is rarely encountered in stamps from the 1869 Type II printing.
