5c Red Brown (1). Vertical pair, huge margins to just touched at bottom right including large top sheet margin, tied by light strikes of red grid cancel, matching "Albany N.Y. Feb. 27" circular datestamp with fleurons on orange-buff envelope to Buffalo N.Y.FRESH AND VERY FINE DOUBLE-WEIGHT USE OF A PAIR OF THE 5-CENT 1847 ISSUE. THE TOP STAMP IS A GEM.
The top stamp in this pair is an Extremely Fine Gem that would certainly grade XF-Superb 95 Jumbo as an off-cover single. We are not encouraging the vandals, but simply advising bidders to consider the potential SMQ value of $2,500.00 for the top stamp.
