Either I guess!
It looks kinda like a kansas/nebr overprint, and so I would stick it there!

Ari check these out - they are hard to find but I picked them up here! I hope the seller doesn't mind me using his pictures. Precancels of the Kans./Nebr. overprints are scarce. There are some amazing sellers here and the prices were very fair!!

Are precancelled stamps described as mint NH really used or mint stamps?

Some people consider them mint if they have original gum and are not used. I don't really care that much, they are rare and I was glad to get them no matter how they were described. Technically I think they are considered used, but if a seller wants to call them mint and I am willing to buy the stamps, and the price if fair, then all is fine with me!
EDIT: Maybe the term "unused" might be more appropriate here.

They are very scarce! Like a lot of amazing stuff I found them in a book here!! The sellers here have lots of amazing stuff. The problem is that my Canada and US collections, except for BoB material, are very nearly complete. I have very few affordable items to look for so what I end up doing in looking for things like postmarks, odd covers, precancels, etc. I should really concentrate on my other countries but some of those are down to expensive items also. For example, to complete Ireland (to 1955) I only need 10 of the older overprints, pretty much the same for Jamaica. I guess when you've been collecting as long as I have that problem pops up. Keep at it Ari, you have a long time left to collect!!
By the way Clay Center Nebraska (bottom) has a population today of just over 700. Found this on Google. There's also a picture of Hugoton Kansas (top) from 1871 named after Victor Hugo, the French writer. It's population in 2020 was 3747. I usually try to find out information about the towns, it makes it a bit more fun and useful!
"Clay Center was laid out in 1879.[5] The city was named after Henry Clay, a statesman from Kentucky.[6] A post office has been in operation at Clay Center since 1879.[7]"
"Settlers from McPherson established a settlement in what was then west-central Seward County in 1885.[4][5] They originally named this settlement Hugo in honor of French writer Victor Hugo, but then changed its name to Hugoton to distinguish it from Hugo, Colorado.[6][7] Hugoton's first church, Hugoton United Methodist, was also the first in Stevens County and was founded in 1886; it is still active as of 2019.[8] The first post office in Hugoton was established in April 1886.[9]
