$5.00 Dark Green (278). Bottom imprint and plate no. 85 strip of three, end stamps Mint N.H., center stamp small h.r., radiant color and detailed impression on bright paper, well-proportioned margins

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A BEAUTIFUL IMPRINT AND PLATE NUMBER STRIP OF THREE OF THE 1895 $5.00 WATERMARKED BUREAU ISSUE. ESPECIALLY DESIRABLE WITH THE TWO END STAMPS IN MINT NEVER-HINGED CONDITION.

This plate strip is exceptional for two reasons. The first is that very few sound imprint and plate number strips of three are known. The second is that the $5.00 watermarked Bureau issue is an exceedingly rare stamp in sound Mint N.H. condition. We have offered only about a dozen sound Mint N.H. examples since keeping computerized records.

An excellent alternative to a plate block, of which only one exists (and catalogues $200,000.00). Scott Retail as singles with no premium for the position. Ex Chapin. With 1982 P.F. certificate. Scott Retail as singles with no premium for the position.
