5c Red Brown (12). Current P.S.E. certificate states unused (regummed), current and older P.F. certificates state original gum, three large margins, clear at bottom, rich color on bright paper

VERY FINE UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT 1856 ISSUE.

The spacing between stamps was very narrow, leaving little margin for error when separating the stamps, which explains why so few examples are known with four margins.

With 1980, 1997 and 2018 P.F. certificates stating "previously hinged". With 2017 P.S.E. certificate stating regummed. Scott Retail as no gum
