5c Dark Brown (1a). Full even margins, dark shade and rich color, early proof-like impression, neat strike of green dotted-grid cancellation used only at Tallahassee Fla. during the 1847 period

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A REMARKABLE STAMP WITH ONE OF THE FEW GREEN FANCY CANCELLATIONS USED DURING THE 1847 ISSUE PERIOD.

Philip Wall records two off-cover 1847's with this cancel -- the other has a crease. We are aware of one other, offered in our sale of the Gross Collection (Sale 1041, lot 33, realized $6,750 hammer).

Ex Emerson, Haas and Wall. With 1991 P.F. certificate
