5c Carmine, Error (467). Mint N.H., enormous margins with significant portions of all eight adjoining stamps, the stamp itself is beautifully centered, brilliant color

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE DESIRABLE 5-CENT PERF 10 ERROR.

During the course of production of the normal 2c plate No. 7942, three positions were noted to be defective. The plate was returned to the siderographer, who burnished out the three positions and mistakenly re-entered them using a transfer roll for the 5c stamp. The error passed unnoticed and the sheets were issued to the public in Perf 10, Imperforate and Perf 11 formats (Scott 467, 485 and 505).

With 2004 P.S.E. certificate (XF-Superb 95; SMQ $4,750.00).
