Siegel Census #57-UNC-7, according to which, of the 36 recorded, one is in The New York Public Library collection. Of the 35 thought to be available to collectors, two are cancelled, 18 have no gum, five have part original gum and ten have full (or nearly full) original gum. Approximately half the full or part original gum stamps in private hands have faults, which is why the 5¢ has been the only value of the "Premiere Gravures" that carries a catalogue value based on a stamp "with small faults".
