5c Olive Yellow (67b). Radiant color in the true Olive Yellow shade, choice centering with margins clear of outer frame lines all around, neat grid cancel

EXTREMELY FINE. A DESIRABLE SOUND AND CENTERED EXAMPLE OF THE 1861 5-CENT IN THE RARE AND DISTINCTIVE OLIVE YELLOW SHADE. THIS IS THE SCARCEST SHADE OF THE 5-CENT 1861 ISSUE, AND IT IS EXCEEDINGLY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN SUCH CHOICE CONDITION.

We have offered approximately a dozen unduplicated examples of the Olive Yellow shade in any condition since keeping computerized records. Of these two were unused. It is difficult to find in sound and centered condition.

With 2010 P.F. and 2007 P.S.E. certificates (XF 90; SMQ $10,000.00). This is the highest grade awarded.
