SOLD

3731 #116, VF centering, cancelled by a VF+ strike of stemmed leaf killer. According to research by a noted NYFM cancel collector and recently documented in the May 2008 issue of the U.S. Cancellation Club News, this is an unlisted NYFM fancy killer (designated by the author as RE-LF5) used over a short period in April-May of 1870.  NYFM cancels on 1869 issues are highly desirable.  Stamp has two tiny corner perf creases at top. A very attractive fancy cancel on 1869 issue. $175
844 #116, fine, bearing an XF SOTN strike of the very scarce YOKOHAMA, JAPAN (DEC 23) postmark. Stamp has tiny shallow hinge thin and corner perf crease, lightly oxidized.  2006 PFC, "genuine, reperforated at top."  A highly showable example of this cancellation, much scarcer than the Hiogo marking.

SOLD

4007 #117, fine, small faults, canceled by a superb SOTN strike of NYFM rosette fancy killer, Weiss TR-W8, partial red LONDON, England receiving mark. A wonderful example of this cancel. All NYFM are very scarce on 1869 issues. $100
390 #117, fine and sound, perfs just in at bottom, very fresh with strong perforations, SOTN bright RED split cork cancellation. Extremely eye catching, a premium color cancellation. $80
