Sale 961, Lot 73, 1869 Pictorial Issue and Re-Issue24c Green & Violet, Center Inverted (120b). Rich colors, light cork cancel red circular datestamp which allow the vignette to be clearly seen

FINE. A RARE SOUND EXAMPLE OF THE 24-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL ISSUE INVERT, WHICH IS ESPECIALLY DESIRABLE BY VIRTUE OF THE RED COLORED CANCEL. ONLY 89 EXAMPLES OF THE 24-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL INVERT ARE RECORDED IN OUR CENSUS.

Our published 1869 Invert census (with unpublished updates) contains 89 copies of the perforated 24c Invert, including four unused stamps and used multiples. Excluding the unused singles, used block and used pair, there are perhaps 15 sound singles. The example offered here is particularly desirable by virtual of the colored cancel.

Census No. 120b-CAN-SW03. With 1957, 1990 and 2005 P.F. certificates. The Scott value is for "fine centered copies with only minimal faults."
