THE REPAIRS ARE MASTERFULLY EXECUTED, INVISIBLE FOR THE MOST PART, AND NO CANCEL IS VISIBLE ALTHOUGH MENTIONED ON THE CERTIFICATE AS “USED”. THE MISSIONARY STAMPS WERE DESIGNED AND PRINTED BY HENRY WHITNEY AT THE GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE ON A SMALL PRESS USED FOR PRINTING BUSINESS CARDS. A FORM OF TWO SUBJECTS WAS MADE FROM AVAILABLE TYPE AND PRINTED ON FRAGILE PELURE PAPER, MEANING PRACTICALLY EVERY MISSIONARY STAMP IS REPAIRED IN SOME MANNER. THE APPEARANCE OF THIS ULTRA-RARE STAMP IS TRULY BEAUTIFUL, PROBABLY UNIQUE IN THAT A STAMP CERTIFIED USED SHOULD APPEAR IN UNUSED CONDITION. THE MENTIONED REPAIR IS ALSO A MASTERWORK.
