$1.00 Deep Brown (518b). Mint N.H., deep rich color in the true Deep Brown shade, attractive centering and margins, small natural fiber inclusion in a perf at lower right

VERY FINE. A RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE $1.00 1917 ISSUE IN THE DEEP BROWN SHADE. A DIFFICULT STAMP TO OBTAIN WITH ANY SEMBLENCE OF DECENT CENTERING.

According to Johl, a small number of stamps were printed in this distinctive shade early in the issue of the 1917 $1.00 stamp. During the course of the six years that the stamp was issued, all other printings were executed in the normal shade.

With 1991 and 2009 P.F. certificates
