o 1859, 5¢ brown, type I (29), perfectly centered with design well free of perforations on all sides; deep rich color and two clear red grid cancels; Extremely Fine and choice. SMQ value $1,050. Scott $450 A CHOICE USED SINGLE, FAR SUPERIOR TO VIRTUALLY ALL WE HAVE SEEN. Expertization: 1988 PF and 2008 PSE Certificates, the latter graded XF 90. Provenance: Floyd, Tahoe. A note from Bill Litle (no longer present) stated the grade was lowered due to the heavy cancel, which in our opinion, being red, enhances not detracts. This is why the stamp looks to be a 95!
