5c Blue, Perf 12 x 10 (423C). Deep rich color, light face-free cancel, centered to leftFINE. A VERY ELUSIVE SOUND EXAMPLE OF THE 1914 5-CENT WITH 12 X 10 COMPOUND PERFORATIONS. A GREAT RARITY.
Our census of Scott 423C is available at https://siegelauctions.com/census/US/Scott/423C . For no apparent reason, the 5c has the highest percentage of faulty stamps of any of the 1914 Compound Perf issues. Of the 24 used copies in our census, seventeen are either faulty or have the perforations in on at least one side of the design. This sound example is desirable and very much in the minority.
Census no. 423C-CAN-016. With 1977 P.F. certificate as the old Scott 428A
