5c Brick Red (27). Unused (no gum), vivid Brick Red color, attractive margins and centering on bright paper, partly reperfed at upper right

FINE APPEARING AND RARE UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 1858 5-CENT BRICK RED.

When submitted to P.S.E. in 2001, this stamp had dark brown, amateurish fake gum. That gum has since been removed, which significantly enhanced this rare stamp's appearance. With 2001 P.S.E. certificate as regummed and without mention of the partial reperfing. With 2016 P.F. certificate as genuine unused (no gum) and "partly reperforated".
