Nicely centered, very light, intermittent, broken-up, black-inked, duplex cancellation, from the left, a horizontal line cancellation leading to a nearly full circular, single, rimmed, socked-on-the-nose cancellation, however the lightness of the cancel and its broken-up and intermittent effects leave the main image remarkably clear, 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, Stanley Gibbons high assessment, and image clear cancel warrants a selling price premium. This is not a 'bait-and-switch' offer; the stamp you see will be the one you receive.
