Sale 1150, Lot 656, 1861-66 Issue (Scott 62B-78)5c Buff (67). Deep rich color and detailed impression, beautiful centering with the design untouched by the perfs, perfect socked-on-the-nose strike of San Francisco cogwheel cancel

EXTREMELY FINE. A WONDERFULLY FRESH AND CENTERED USED EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT 1861 BUFF MADE MORE DESIRABLE BY THE WELL-STRUCK SAN FRANCISCO COGWHEEL CANCEL.

Due to narrow spacing on the 5c plate, it is very difficult to find centered copies with the perforations clear of the design on all sides. The stamp offered here, with its choice centering and cancel, is a true condition rarity.

With 2016 P.F. certificate (XF 90)
