$500.00 Red Orange, Green & Black, Second Issue, "Large Persian Rug" (R133). Wonderfully bright colors, detailed impressions, unobtrusive July 9, 1872 manuscript cancel, trivial vertical crease at lower right margin

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A BEAUTIFUL 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. The example offered here, with a small flaw, is in better condition than most.

Kingsley Census No. 5-2. With 2004 P.S.E. certificate.
