Lot 216 Austria SC#11 15kr Blue Franz Josef, 1858-1859 Franz Josef Issue, A Very Fine Used Single, Type II

A very fine used single of the 15kr blue Franz Josef from the 1858-1859 Franz Josef Issue, type ii.

Some heavy toning on the back, which might come out with persistent soaking and careful peroxide treatment. I never got around to it, but this is still the nicest example of this stamp I've ever seen.
