5c Bright Red Brown (28b). Choice centering and separated with part of adjoining stamp at top, fiery red color but lacking the depth of impression to qualify as Indian Red, lightly cancelled by New Orleans circular datestampEXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF THE 1858 BRIGHT RED BROWN SHADE OF THE 5-CENT TYPE I.
The 1858 Bright Red Brown is a much more vibrant color than the 1856 Red Brown or later Red Brown.
