Hello,
Im new in the forum, this is my second post

What is you opinion this stamp it is common, it is valuable?

I never see fingerprint on stamps I think the postmaster 130 year ago left his mark on the stamp. I hope the postmark is original, hove to prove this? I read in the forum the modern cancels will lighting under UV.

Stamp is NOT valuable to start with.....a few $$ cv.
The captured imprint at LL makes this a "better" item.....$10???

For me your stamp would be a "keeper". I've always liked the unusual and your stamp qualifies 3 times. It is unusually tall, it has a captured imprint not usually seen and it has a fingerprint in the cancel which I've never seen. I like it!

I'm amazed that one of our philatelists hasn't been able to identify the owner of the fingerprint yet ... Now THAT would be a neat feat!

That WOULD be a neat trick for it to be Ben Franklin's fingerprint...
