EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A HUGE AND STUNNING USED EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT 1847 ISSUE IN THE ELUSIVE BROWN ORANGE SHADE, GRADED SUPERB 98 JUMBO BY THE PHILATELIC FOUNDATION.

This Superb 98 Jumbo 5c 1847 in the Brown Orange shade is without equal in The Philatelic Foundation's grading records (the next highest is a single example graded XF 90). By way of comparison, the highest grade awarded by P.S.E. is XF-Superb 95 and only three have achieved that high mark. This stamp, with its warm color, neat blue grid cancel and huge sheet margin is a true condition rarity and destined to reside in an advanced classic collection.
