2332 o    28 image1857, 5¢ red brown, type I.

Scott No. 28; $1,100.

WITHOUT QUESTION - ONE OF THE FINEST KNOWN EXAMPLES OF THE 1857 5¢ RED BROWN TYPE I ISSUES IN EXISTENCE.

Due to the extremely tight spacing between the stamps of the 5¢ type I issue, the far majority of stamps were perforated into the design in at least one side. This example, with not only the design well clear of the perforation but with margins perfectly balanced, is a true one-in-a-million gem. (Image1)

Scott No. 28b; $2,250.

In our opinion, the Bright Red Brown shade is bit more elusive than the rare Indian Red shade. (Image1)
