ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT 1861 ISSUE IN THE BROWN YELLOW SHADE. WE HAVE SOLD ONLY ELEVEN OTHERS SINCE KEEPING COMPUTERIZED RECORDS. The 5c Brown Yellow is recognized as being among the rarest of 1861-66 Issue stamps in original-gum
condition. Perhaps the only shade varieties rarer than the 5c Brown Yellow are the 3c Pigeon Blood Pink and 24c Blackish Violet (Scott 64a and 78c). A review of Power Search found only eleven other unduplicated examples offered in all of our Rarities
sales and in the past 16 years of our auctions. With 1978 and 2010 P.F. certificates (Image) Search for comparables at SiegelAuctions.com |
