FINE APPEARING ORIGINAL-GUM BLOCK OF THE 1860 5-CENT TYPE II BROWN.

The 5c Brown Type II is far rarer in unused multiples than the Orange Brown (Scott 30). Unlike the 1861 Orange Brown, the earlier printing in Brown was not left in Southern post offices when the issue was demonetized in August 1861.
