ONE OF THE FINEST USED EXAMPLES WE HAVE EVER OFFERED OF THE 1856 5¢ RED BROWN.

This is a notoriously difficult stamp to find in this choice condition as most examples are cut in or touched. When a four margin example is found, more often than not, the margins have been cut at an angle and do not have this wonderful "boxed" appearance. (Image1)
