5c Red Brown (Scott 12). Position 40R1, huge margins all around including “ston & Cincinnati” portion of imprint at right, sharp impression on bright white paper, neat strike of New York City grid cancel EXTREMELY FINE GEM. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE IMPRINT COPY OF THE 5-CENT 1856 WITH UNUSUALLY WIDE MARGINS ON ALL SIDES. ONLY TWO ARE KNOWN FROM THIS POSITION. The plate used to print the 5c 1856 imperforate and its Type I perforated counterparts has never been fully reconstructed, due to the lack of multiples or significant plating marks. However, 5c stamps with imprints or corner sheet margins can be reliably plated. We record only thirteen copies showing any portion of the imprint. Of these thirteen, eight have margins either touching or cutting into the design. The grid on this stamp is an unusual cancellation for the issue, which is typically cancelled by the New Orleans datestamp. The grid cancel on the stamp is from New York City and has the distinctive “hole” at the center, where the nail or screw fastened the cancel to the hand-held device. With 2000 P.F. certificate Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Jun 2012, Sale 1024, Lot 42 |
