A BEAUTIFUL USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1861 5-CENT IN THE BUFF COLOR. SCARCE WITH SUCH CHOICE CENTERING. There has been some confusion in nomenclature over the years with regard to the shades of the 1861 5c stamps. The three main shades are Buff (67), Brown Yellow (67a) and Olive Yellow (67b). The Buff is the darkest of the three, the Brown Yellow shows strong hints of Yellow, the Olive Yellow is the most distinct and rarest of the three, with strong Olive undertones. Over the years the expertizers have differed as to nomenclature, but to us they are clearly identifiable, the three stamps in the Natalee Grace Collection reflect what should be Scott 67, 67a and 67b. Ex Hinrichs. With 1986 and 2004 P.F. certificates as Brown Yellow. With 2009 P.S.E. certificate as Buff (XF 90, SMQ $3,000.00). Only four have graded higher to date (at 95)
