24c Steel Blue (70b). Magnificent centering and wide balanced margins, gorgeous true Steel Blue color, tied by "Lenox Ms. Jan. 17" circular datestamp on piece

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. ONE OF THE FINEST EXAMPLES OF THE 1861 24-CENT STEEL BLUE WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED, IN TERMS OF COLOR, MARGINS AND CENTERING.

The 1861 Issue high values are usually cancelled by cork killers designed to obliterate the design and prevent re-use. The use of a town datestamp to cancel this magnificent 24c Steel Blue adds an element of scarcity and desirability to an already-impressive stamp.
