12c Green (117). Rich color complemented by clear green cork cancel, rim of matching circular datestamp at left, tiny corner creases, Fine appearance and very rare, green cancels are scarce to rare on any 1869 Issue stamp, but the tendency of postal clerks to zealously cancel stamps used overseas combined with the green color of the 12c no doubt made it particularly unlikely that clerks would use a green cancel on the S.S. Adriatic Issue, with 1997 P.F. certificate (Image)

12c Green (117). Lightly struck but evident green cork cancel, Fine and rare, the way the cancel blends into this stamp is a good example of why green was seldom chosen to obliterate the 12c 1869 Issue, with 1996 P.F. certificate (Image)

12c Green (117). Rich color, bold quartered cork cancel with the appearance of brown, accompanying certificate states the cancel color is the result of "mixture of red and black inks rather than a true brown ink", still a striking and Very Fine stamp and probably the closest anyone can come to owning the 12c with a brown cancel as there are none recorded, despite its listing in Scott (see Chronicle 242 for a census of colored cancels on 1869 Issue stamps), with 2006 P.F. certificate (VF 80), Scott Retail as red cancel (Image)
