Add Rarely Seen US #69 Plate Proof to Your Collection

Proof stamps display the beauty of a stamp’s design as it was intended to be.  The engraving on the printing plate has not yet been dulled by use.  The resulting image is crisp and displays the fine details of the design.  This 1861 12¢ Washington stamp was produced as a plate proof.  Once the design has been approved and the plates have been created, the printer will produce plate proofs to ensure that everything is in order before full-scale printing begins.  This plate proof was printed on thick card paper. 

Stamp #69 was printed by the National Bank Note Company shortly after the Civil War began. 

Though this stamp was made over a century and a half ago, it has been well preserved.  Won’t you be the next collector to own this rarely seen stamp?
