ebay lot #120764095023, trying to sell the stamp as a #85, and touting the manuscript 1865 cancel.

The Earliest Date Used for Us #85 is February 1, 1868. Also, #85 is a "D" grill, which is one of the rarer, larger grills-- the picture does not show a grill.

I think also, the stamp is the wrong color for an 85. 85 is usually dull rose-- and the stamp in the picture is not dull rose.

I did go through the link on the VSC main menu to report the item to ebay.

FYI, Ray
