Greenleaf & Co., 5c Orange, Silk Paper (RO102b). Bright color with many silk paper fibers clearly visible, single short perf at top, light crease, small toned spot at top

FINE APPEARANCE. A BRIGHT AND EXCEPTIONALLY CHOICE EXAMPLE OF THE EXCEEDINGLY RARE 5-CENT GREENLEAF MATCH STAMP ON SILK PAPER. ONLY 15 ARE RECORDED IN THE ALDRICH CENSUS.

Of the 15 recorded in the Aldrich book, at least nine are faulty and about half have perfs cutting into the design. The Joyce sale contained only one, with perfs in at bottom.
