Sound and VF used example of the 1862 issue rouletted typeset 4c black (on blue paper). The "initialization" signature is both attractively light and legibly clear, by far nicer than we usually see on this often faulty and unattractive stamp. The stamp comes with a 2018 APS photo certificate which states "genuine in all respects". As an extra bonus, the "comet" owner's mark on the reverse allows us to trace the provenance of this particular stamp to the collection of Frederic T. Small, former owner of the famous British Guiana "Penny Magenta", the world's most valuable stamp. 2021 Scott US$1,100.00=
