A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT 1857 ISSUE IN THE BRIGHT RED BROWN SHADE. FEW EXIST IN THIS SUPERIOR GRADE.
The Bright Red Brown shade is particularly difficult to find in such choice condition. A review using Power Search found very few rivals to this copy. Only three have graded higher than 80 thus far in the P.S.E. Population Report.
