VERY FINE. A RARE SOUND AND WELL-CENTERED EXAMPLE OF THE CELEBRATED $500.00 LARGE PERSIAN RUG, WHICH IS ONE OF THE MOST COLORFUL AND ELABORATELY ENGRAVED STAMPS IN ALL OF PHILATELY.
Only 204 were issued, and it is safe to say that most examples are faulty to some degree. A document exists from July 24, 1874, detailing the purchaser of each. The Kingsley census records 76 copies, and a handful are known outside of the census. The example offered here, which is completely sound, is a great rarity.
Kingsley Census No. 5-1. Another is known used on the same day (possibly even from the same document) and was offered in our 2011 Rarities sale. With 1995 and 2002 P.F. certificates. (Image)
