FRESH AND FINE. A SCARCE SOUND EXAMPLE OF THE 6-CENT PROPRIETARY STAMP.

The 6c Proprietary was issued very late for the first issue Revenues, in April 1871. It was only issued in perforated form. Only eight are recorded with this cancel.

With 2004 P.F. certificate. Scott Catalogue notes "Nearly all examples of No. R31 are faulty and poorly centered. The catalogue value is for a fine centered stamp with minor faults which do not detract from its appearance." (Image)
