Yes, just the 12 cent. Too bad, it's a cool cancel.

IMO the blue cancel is probably from the "Chicago Blue" group, which are collectible themselves.

This is a 159 I used to own with a blue Chicago geometric cancel (Cole GEC-37):

Somewhere I have a badly centered pair of 3c green Washingtons with one of the Chicago blues on small piece.

Getting back to my 12c, I don't intentionally buy reperfs - if I decide to resell it, how much should I discount it g=for the reperf?

At the risk of boring people as these are neither rare nor nosebleed centering, these are some of the unused items I bought.

The first two (441 & 527) arre NH.





The rest (279, 530, 543, 555) are ones I thought were NH, but one has a small spot below where you would normally look for a hinge mark and the others I think have brushed hinge marks.

eyeonwall - nice stamps, all! I have a particular yen for the offset Washingtons, of which you show 2. They can be hard to find well-centered, and with blemish-free paper. The paper of the era is particularly prone to having inclusions. Anyway, nice stamps!!

The 3c offset (Scott 530) has an interesting bridge inside the "O" of postage.

Love the 3c Lincoln (getting close to nosebleed!).

mooter - I agree the offsets are hard to find with good centering and without inclusions.

orstamp - It certainly passes my "good enough" test
