VERY FINE. VERY FEW BLACK JACK STAMPS ARE KNOWN USED IN COMBINATION WITH THE 1869 PICTORIAL ISSUE TO FOREIGN DESTINATIONS.
The earliest documented use of the 15c is March 1869, so this must have been sent in 1870. When this was mailed on February 26, the 34c rate was in effect, but by the time it reached New York on March 2, the rate had dropped to 22c the day before, so this became overpaid by 12c.
