touch but almost all unused examples o5c Brick Red (27). Part original gum which covers most of the back but which is harshly described on accompanying certificate as "traces" of gum, lovely brilliant color in the distinctive Brick Red shade, perfs touch but almost all unused examples of this stamp are slightly off center

VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE SOUND ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 5-CENT BRICK RED SHADE -- IN OUR OPINION, THE BRICK RED IS ONE OF THE RAREST STAMPS OF THE CLASSIC PERIOD IN SOUND CONDITION WITH ORIGINAL GUM.

After surveying dozens of classic United States sale catalogues, we found approximately twenty stamps with original gum, allowing for duplicate offerings and excluding the one known original-gum block. Of the stamps we counted, about half had perfs touching two sides or were deeply cut into on one side. Almost two-thirds had stains or small faults.

With 1996 P.F. certificate. Scott Retail with no gum $20,000.00. Scott Retail as with gum (Image)
