full margins, uncancelled on cover to "Lieut. S.H. Washington, Company "F" 3r Ga. Regiment of Volunteers, Portsmouth, Va.", postmarked "Macon Geo 20" at upper left, two strikes of "Paid 10" over "Paid 5" at upper right, given the "Paid" markings and the fact that the stamp is not cancelled (very unusual for Macon) there is a chance the stamp does not originate and is therefore being offered "as-is", stamp is very fine and attractive in any regard (Scott $1,250 for used single, $6,000 on cover)
