THE 15¢ 1869 TYPE II IS VERY RARE IN THIS CHOICE ORIGINAL GUM CONDITION. A SPECTACULAR STAMP AND CERTAINLY ONE OF THE FINEST KNOWN.

Despite the greater availability of Type II stamps (Scott 119) compared to Type I (Scott 118), we've observed that locating them in gem condition is just as challenging. This particular Type II boasts precise centering and full original gum with light hinging, with the vignette aligning perfectly with the frame, a detail that perfectionists will surely admire.

Typically, United States classic issues command a premium when they bear red cancels. Nevertheless, the nearly twofold premium for a red-cancellation on the 24¢ 1869 bicolor underscores its significant appeal.
