Scott value $60,000 AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE STAMP WITH ORIGINAL GUM. Expertization: 1995 PF Certificate. The 5¢ red brown, type I is easily among the most difficult 19th century United States stamps to find unused with any portion of its original gum remaining as does this one; additionally we have never seen an unused example with the perforations clear of design.

5c Bright Red Brown (Scott 28b). Essentially perfectly centered, outstanding deep rich color in 1858 shade, crisp bright white paper, neat New Orleans circular datestamp with a dark red octagonal foreign transit at bottom right EXTREMELY FINE GEM. AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 5-CENT BRIGHT RED BROWN WITH INTENSE COLOR AND EXTRAORDINARY CENTERING. This stamp is, in our opinion, further evidence that the 1858 5c printing produced the deeper shades of Red Brown, Bright Red Brown and Indian Red (and probably the Brick Red as a mistake in ink mixture).

5c Red Brown (Scott 28). Warm shade on bright paper, perfectly centered with perfs well clear of outer projections on all sides, long and full perforations, neat strikes of New Orleans circular datestamp EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A STUNNING USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 5-CENT RED BROWN. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT ISSUES TO OBTAIN WITH SUCH WIDE MARGINS AND IN SUCH PRISTINE CONDITION. Due to the narrow spacing between stamps on the plate, the perforations often touch or go into the outer portion of the design on one or more sides. The example offered here, with perfect centering and unusually wide margins, is a true condition rarity. With 1984 and 1999 P.F. and 2009 P.S.E. certificates (XF-Superb 95, SMQ value $10,100.00). Only one has graded higher to date and only two others share this grade. This is also the highest grade we have ever offered in one of our auctions.
