Scott $15,000 for a stamp with faults

ONE OF THE FINEST OF THE RARE 15¢ 1869S INVERTS AND ONE OF PERHAPS TEN OR SO THAT ARE COMPLETELY SOUND.

Expertization: 1975, 1991 and 2000 P.F. Certificates.

We estimate that less than 100 of the 15¢ 1869s with inverted center have been reported. The overwhelming majority come with significant faults and/or poor centering.
