within large margins, glorious rich color and a highly detailed impression,
full clean o.g., lightly hinged, very fine and wonderfully choice; whether
this stamp has a secret mark (#188) or not (#187) is subject to
interpretation, in 1981 this was submitted to the Philatelic Foundation as

incredible strike of large Skull and Crossbones fancy cancel
(Skinner/Eno #PH-S17) of Stoneham, Mass., this cancel is perfectly
positioned on the stamp, this being much scarcer than the smaller Skull and
Crossbones cancel of this same town, and much harder to get a full strike
on a stamp such as this one, extremely fine.
