5c Brown (29). Original gum, deep rich color and proof-like impression, choice centering for this difficult issueVERY FINE. A SCARCE SOUND AND WELL-CENTERED ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1859 5-CENT BROWN TYPE I, SCOTT 29.
For some reason, most original-gum examples of this issue are either off center or have small faults. Although centered closer to top, this is one of the choicer examples.
