Lot Sym. Lot Description  
1300   Image$500.00 Red Orange, Green & Black, Second Issue, "Large Persian Rug" (R133). Rich colors, detailed impressions, unobtrusive "ARC & I Co. July 9, 1872" manuscript cancel, completely sound

FRESH AND VERY FINE. A RARE SOUND EXAMPLE OF THE CELEBRATED $500.00 "LARGE PERSIAN RUG", WHICH IS ONE OF THE MOST COLORFUL AND ELABORATELY ENGRAVED STAMPS IN ALL OF PHILATELY.

Only 210 were issued, and it is safe to say that most examples are faulty to some degree. A document exists from July 24, 1874, detailing the purchaser of each. The Kingsley census records 76 copies, and our expanded census, available at our website, contains 87.

Census No. 5-2. With 1982 P.F. certificate. (Image)
