#127, 10c Yellow re-issue, a marvelous example that is, without question, one of the finest used Ten Cent 1869 Pictorial Re-issues in existence, as this stamp boasts numerous impressive physical attributes, including being incredibly well centered amid large margins all around, plus its color could not be more intense nor its impression more detailed, small unobtrusive segmented cork cancel confined to bottom left corner, extremely fine; a striking gem of immense rarity, as only a tiny fraction of the 1,947 Ten Cent Re-issue stamps that were issued were ever used, and only a minute number of these can possibly exist in this premium condition; 1967 and 1998 PF certificates.

#128, 12c Green re-issue, a fabulous quality example of this very rare used re-issue, being in a condition that is virtually unheard of on any of the known used 1869 Pictorial Re-issues, magnificently centered amid lavishly large margins, eye-arresting color in an incredibly deep shade, plus its impression is deeply etched on bright paper, superbly postmarked with a light magenta cancel at bottom, leaving the central vignette cancel free, a superb stamp for the finest used collection; Jon Rose, in his exceptional United States Postage Stamps of 1869 handbook, estimates that only 15-25 used Twelve Cent Re-issues exist and, in our opinion, there exists no finer than the copy offered here; 1991 and 2002 PF certificates; ex-Morris.

III, a superlative used example that is in the finest attainable quality, flawlessly centered amid enormously large margins, gloriously rich colors and prooflike impressions on bright fresh paper, uniformly even and intact perforations all around, strikingly cancelled with a blue segmented postmark, an extremely fine used gem that is surely among the very finest of the few surviving used examples, with this being the only example we have ever seen cancelled in blue; 2000 PF certificate.

#130, 24c Green and violet re-issue, a gorgeous used example, being in a quality that would be almost impossible to improve upon, as this lovely stamp possesses outstanding centering within lavishly large margins all around, its colors are sumptuously rich and its impressions highly detailed on immaculately white paper, beautifully postmarked with a very light and highly desirable magenta cancel, superb; only a minute number of the 2,091 issued of this re-issue value were ever used, fewer still survive today, and we doubt a finer quality example exists with a rarely seen colored cancel; 1976 and 1997 PF certificates.
