THEY WERE HANDCARVED AND OFTEN VERY INTRICATE AND BEAUTIFUL.THE 1861 STAMPS AND 1869 STAMPS OFTEN HAD THEIR OWN NYFM CANCELS, AND OCCASIONAL 1869 SERIES STAMPS HAD 1870S NYFM CANCEL. THE STAMPS ARE COLLECTED MAINLY FOR THE CANCELS, AND DECENT QUALITY STAMPS WITH WELL STRUCK CANCELS GET A PREMIUM FROM THE UNDERLYING STAMP'S VALUE
