Scott #65 (3¢ rose Washington, 1861–66 issue).IdentificationDesign: Standard 1861 Washington profile (second design with corner ornaments/balls). The color is typical rose (not the scarcer pink shades like #64/64b).Condition: Used with a heavy black cancel (appears as a grid or killer that partially obscures the design). Perfs are present but the stamp shows typical wear/toning for the era. Back is plain (no gum, as expected for used).Period: Civil War era—matches your ongoing series of #65/#64b covers.Swedish Tiger & Siegel Auction CompsSwedish Tiger: Lists #65 used as very common (catalog values low single digits to teens for off-cover). Heavy cancels reduce appeal, but it's a solid representative example. No premium shade or variety here.Siegel Auctions: They sell thousands of #65 singles and on-piece/on-cover examples. Used #65 with average cancels realize $5–$30 (higher for better centering, light/fancy cancels, or sound condition). Your example (heavily cancelled) would be toward the lower end. Similar heavily cancelled #65s appear in bulk lots or as space-fillers.Value Estimate: $10–$40 retail (off-cover)
