$5.00 Green & Black on Violet Paper, Proprietary (RB10a). Original gum, deep rich colors and detailed impressions, choice centering, tiny corner crease at bottom left is of little consequenceVERY FINE AND CHOICE. A BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE RARE $5.00 PROPRIETARY ON VIOLET PAPER. A GREAT CONDITION RARITY FOR THE ISSUE.
Examples of the $5.00 Proprietary Issue almost invariably have faults, due to the stamp's large size and the nature of its use. The example offered here, with full original gum and with only a tiny negligible corner crease, is probably the finest extant.
With 2002 P.F. certificate. Unpriced in Scott as unused. Scott Retail as used.
