Scott no.?? I believe it's soft porous paper and perf 12. But it's faded, and the color is pink? Cancel used 1882 -8, so maybe 1879 issue—Sc 186? Or 1882 issue—Sc 208? I'm at a loss. It's not the best example, and it seems faded. This is the best image I can get. Thanks for any help!

PS - sorry it's crooked - having problems with editing software after update!

If soft paper, I think it is #186 because I can see 4 vertical lines from the panel to the outer edge.

Update: It also looks like it has the strengthened shading of the first 4 vertical lines in the lower part of the left ribbon. So that at least puts it at either #159 or #186. Hard to tell because the stamp is so faded.

It's soft paper, the left margin and the perfs prove that.
