$500.00 Red Orange, Green & Black, Second Issue, "Large Persian Rug" (R133). Choice centering with mostly wide margins, bright colors and detailed impressions, neat August 31, 1872 manuscript cancel, light corner crease at upper left, tiny thin spot at center

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE EXAMPLE OF THE CELEBRATED $500.00 LARGE PERSIAN RUG, WHICH IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL STAMPS IN ALL OF PHILATELY.

Only 204 were issued, and it is safe to say that most examples are faulty to some degree.
