24c Green & Violet (120). Original gum, lightly hinged, rich colors on bright paper, sharp proof-like impressions, choice centering with wide marginsEXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 24-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL ISSUE. A SURPRISINGLY DIFFICULT STAMP TO FIND IN SUCH SUPERB CONDITION.
The 24c 1869 Pictorial, even in original-gum condition, is not a rare stamp. However, centering and soundness are elusive qualities among examples of this issue.
