It has two major faults: a visible pinhole and a thin in the same area. Never the less, it looks nice with VF centering for the issue and cancel that does not obliterate the stamp. It does have a short, or pulled, perf on upper left but it is not too distracting. Most important, Compared with other 120s with much higher prices that had heavy dark cancels, I got it for a reasonable price. The others did not have major faults but their overall appearance was not as nice.

It certainly is one I would include in my own album.

I have a few of the series, but not the high values. I doubt I'll ever get the 90-cent.

Looks good; thanks for sharing,
KirkS

Very nice. Pretty good centering and nice registration on the colours. I've just started looking into these, recently acquiring the 2 and 3c stamps.

Thanks guys. I've been looking for several years for an affordable 120, with or without faults, that I liked. I am only missing the 90 cent Lincoln but if I ever do get one, it will most likely be a badly damaged one. My 30 cent #121 was described as possibly having a tiny thin. If so, it is so tiny that I have not found it. I haven't really looked with every detection method at my disposal though.

Beautiful stamp to be certain! I, myself need a nice used (even better an unused) single for my collection and I'm always keeping an open eye for these beauties! [of course referring to Scott#'s 118 & 120] IMO some of the most beautiful stamps ever printed! I like the cancel too in the upper right hand corner. Windmill or flower perhaps?

I agree that 118 (and 119) and 120 are beautiful bi-color stamps. It is such a shame that these were available for only a year or so since the public did not like them at all when issued or we'd have more copies available and less expensive to boot.

Like you quigngt, I'm missing the 90 cent vale and I've been looking for an affordable copy for several years. Hard to come buy for sure. I think I'm going to have to spend some $$ if I ever want to get one.
