1c Green, used.

The 68L3 green stamps are recorded to only be used in October and November 1862. They appear to be the last printing, probably by Kimball & Waterman, before the post was closed. There are only three recorded covers, six or seven used stamps off cover, and three or four unused stamps. Faults and tear on right.
