$5.00 Green & Black on Violet Paper, Proprietary (RB10a). Full original gum, superb centering and wide margins, proof-like impression, deep rich colors

EXTREMELY FINE. ONE OF THEE SOUND UNUSED EXAMPLES OF THE RARE $5.00 PROPRIETARY ON VIOLET PAPER, AND THE ONLY SOUND EXAMPLE WITH ORIGINAL GUM. A GREAT CONDITION RARITY FOR THE ISSUE.

Examples of the $5.00 Proprietary Issue almost invariably have faults, due to the stamp's large size and the nature of its use. An example with large part original gum, a small thin and small sealed tears, realized $7,000 hammer in our Sale 836.

Ex Kingsley. With 1981 and 2003 P.F. certificates. Scott Retail for used example with small faults.
