5c Red Brown (Scott 75). Original gum, deep rich color in the distinctive Red Brown shade, well-balanced margins for this difficult issue with perforations clear of projections on all sides EXTREMELY FINE. A RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT 1862 ISSUE IN THE RED BROWN SHADE. THIS STAMP IS ESPECIALLY SCARCE IN ORIGINAL-GUM CONDITION IN THE HIGHER GRADES. The 5c Red Brown — issued in early 1862 after the Buff printing — is one of the 1861-66 stamps that challenges collectors who demand choice original-gum examples. Multiples of the Red Brown are extremely rare, with only one recorded original-gum block, therefore, there has never been a supply of blocks from which singles could be removed. The vast majority of original-gum singles are off-center or faulty. The example offered here is remarkable for several reasons: the color is in the distinctive Red Brown shade, drifting towards the deeper end of the color spectrum, it has full original gum, the perforations are well-formed, and the stamp is almost perfectly centered. With copy of 1979 P.F. certificate for pair and 2001 P.F. certificate as single Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Jan 2009, Sale 968, Lot 96 |
