FINE-VERY FINE. AN INCREDIBLY RARE PAIR OF THE 5-CENT 1847 ISSUE IN THE ELUSIVE RED ORANGE SHADE. THIS IS THE LARGEST RECORDED MULTIPLE OF THIS SHADE, AND ONE OF ONLY TWO SOUND PAIRS.
According to Wade Saadi, the Red Orange shade was produced exclusively during the last printing, stamps from which were part of the Fifth Delivery (December 7, 1850).
The P.F. has certified four pairs of this distinctive shade. Of these, only one other is sound (offered in our sale of the Tahoe Collection).
With 1989 and 1998 P.F. certificates. (Image)
