239

#239, $5.00 Dark green, an incredibly rare used example of this high value, but most striking is the fabulous quality exhibited by this elusive stamp, possessing beautiful centering within extraordinarily large margins and surrounded by full even perforations, especially rich color and prooflike impression, plus neatly cancelled by a quite light portion of a duplex cancel that is not at all obtrusive, unlike so many of the high values of this possession that are heavily cancelled, extremely fine; an amazing condition rarity that one could search for years to duplicate as only 746 stamps were overprinted of which only a tiny fraction were used; certainly among the finest quality examples of this tiny census; 1982 and 2004 PF certificates.
