Sale 1376, Lot 704, 1875 Re-Issue of 1869 Pictorial Issue (Scott 123-132)

12c Green, Re-Issue (128). Deep rich color and sharp proof-like impression on bright paper, light strike of double oval cancel, beautifully centered with wide margins

EXTREMELY FINE. A RARE AND EXCEPTIONAL SOUND AND CENTERED USED EXAMPLE OF THE 12-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL RE-ISSUE.

The 12c 1869 Pictorial Re-issue is the second rarest of the set in used condition, after the 3c. It was the only used 1869 Re-issue denomination in the Zoellner collection that was accepted with a small fault. This stamp ranks among a small handful as the finest extant.

Ex Kirke. With 2002 P.F. and 2005 P.S.E. certificates (XF 90). Only one example grades higher (at 95, ex "Tahoe") and this is one of only four 90s contained in the P.S.E. Population Report.
