Nicely centered, light, black-inked, horizontal, duplex cancellations, from left to right, a multi-line message cancellation on the top left leading to a single-rimmed, three quarter circular, socked-on-the-nose cancellation on the upper right, however the lightness of the cancels leave the main image remarkably clear, stamp has a missing perforation at the lower right corner, hence discounted, otherwise good perforations, stamp was removed from its mailing envelope using the Bestine solvent and placed on a piece of black card stock for an attractive and uniform album appearance; mounting, centering, and image clear cancel warrants a selling price premium.

Please review my terms of sale. If you are not ordering from the United States, there is a $US1.55 additional postage expense that needs to be added to the price of the stamp. If you are ordering from the United States, there is only a $US0.68 added postage expense. Also, if you make additional purchases from my offerings, they can all go in one mailing at no extra expense for the added purchases. f not satisfied, return the stamp to me at your own expense, and I will refund the cost, but not my postage to you. If the stamp is not as described, I will refund the cost and reimburse you for postage both ways.
