FRESH AND FINE-VERY FINE ORIGINAL-GUM BLOCK OF THE 1873 10-CENT CONTINENTAL BANK NOTE COMPANY ISSUE.
This issue is found in block form but is rarely encountered as fresh and the example offered here (Image)
EXTREMELY FINE EXAMPLE OF THE 1875 5-CENT TAYLOR CONTINENTAL PRINTING. AN EXCEPTIONALLY DIFFICULT STAMP TO FIND IN SUCH CHOICE ORIGINAL-GUM CONDITION.
The addition of a 5c value was made necessary by the creation of the General Post Union in 1874, which specified a rate of 5c between member countries, effective July 1, 1875. Of the two regular-issue 5c Taylor stamps -- Scott 179 (Continental) and Scott 185 (American) -- the former is much more difficult to obtain in this superior original-gum condition.
