$5.00 Dark Green (Scott 263). Rich color and proof-like impression on bright paper, Jumbo margins, unobtrusive cancel EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A STUNNING USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1894 $5.00 UNWATERMARKED BUREAU ISSUE, AND EASILY ONE OF THE FINEST IN EXISTENCE. Brookman notes “The $5 is the scarcest stamp in the 1894 series as the total issue of the stamp consisted of 6,251 stamps. It is probable that more of these stamps might have been sold were it not for the fact that speculators were dumping $5 Columbians at a discount to face because the rise they had anticipated had failed to materialize.” Very few were used. A review of Power Search and P.S.E’.s Population Report found very few used and centered copies of this issue. With 1985 P.F. certificate. Acquired by the owner in 1988 and offered to the market for the first time in 25 years. Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Dec 2013, Sale 1062, Lot 448 |
