Here's a photo of the back of the stamp showing the watermark.

Cancellation looks like August 1872 which would be before the #67 issue date. I could not see any colored silk threads in the paper indicating it is not the granite issue, although the illumination is not very powerful.

I have been trying to ID this Swiss stamp. It seems like it is either Scott #59 or 67. I'm leaning toward #59 because I think it's color is "violet" rather than "deep violet." I can't recognize "white wove" vs "granite" paper. Could anyone help with this? Thanks.
