VERY FINE. AN OUTSTANDING LARGE MULTIPLE OF THE 10-CENT 1847 ISSUE, WITH THE ADDED FEATURE OF "PAINT RED" MOBILE ALABAMA GRID CANCELS. A GREAT RARITY.

Any multiple of the 10c 1847 larger than a pair is rare and strips of four or more are extremely rare. This strip of five is one of the most outstanding off-cover multiples of the issue.

Ex Caspary. With 1993 P.F. certificate
