Item Description

I've decided to dismantle my stamp collection, which has taken me over thirty years to build. 
This rare 19th century classic stamp is being offered as depicted in the listing's photographs.
The accompanying description from my 1978 H.E. Harris + Co, Inc. Liberty Stamp Album for the 1869 pictorial stamps reads as follows:
“Because of their odd size and the few familiar portraits, these stamps originally were disliked by the general public. Today, however, all of them are very popular with philatelists. They are the first U.S. pictorials, the first adhesive bicolors, and the shortest-lived regular issue in U.S. postal history. Some of the 15¢, 24¢ and 30¢ values were printed by error with inverted centers, and have become great rarities.”
It will be shipped via USPS Ground Advantage.
Thanks for looking, and hopefully bidding!
