extreme fiery end of the color spectrum, unobtrusive red circular datestamps, well-balanced marginsEXTREMELY FINE. THIS REMARKABLE STAMP IS THE ONLY EXAMPLE OF THE 1862 5-CENT CERTIFIED BY THE PHILATELIC FOUNDATION AS A BRIGHT RED BROWN.
A PHENOMENAL RARITY. Brookman notes that this issue is known in Red Brown and Dark Brown, and those two shades are listed in Scott. However, we have occasionally encountered this issue with the distinctive fiery color of the stamp offered here.
It is the only example certified by the P.F. as this shade. With 1986 P.F. as normal Red Brown and 2008 P.F. certificate as Bright Red Brown (VF-XF 85). Scott Retail as normal shade. (Image) Search for comparables at SiegelAuctions.com |
