5c Brown (76). Rich color, cancelled by full clear strike of New York Union Soldier's Head fancy cancel (Skinner-Eno PH-F 73), centered slightly to right, Very Fine strike of this rare fancy cancel, this is the first we have offered on the 5c since keeping computerized records, the cancelling device made it way into the foreign-mail exchange office where it was used to cancel mail sent to foreign countries, the 5c stamp was not used as often as some other denominations to foreign destinations and so this is a true rarity, with 1997 P.F. certificate
