5 Tied to 1852 F/L by faint cds cancel per 2019 PSE Cert, stamp appears undamaged w/ large margins, to in at top, large bottom margin showing full scrolls & top portion of adjoining stamp that shows break in the top line. Drop rate F/L with vertical file folds clear of stamp, overall a desirable cover. This F/L is from an estate find & is new to the market. It is not included in the Wagshall/Siegel census. Estimated fewer than (25) covers survive. Only one position (7R1E) of the (1000) possible positions from the plates used to print imperforate stamps is Type 1, this is why Scott #5 is so rare. Making it even rarer is its apparent undamaged condition!....(see addl web photos) (Image)
