5c Red Brown (1). Position 91R, original gum, beautiful rich dark color and detailed early impression on strongly blued paper, bottom sheet margin and left interpane margin, full at right and ample at top

VERY FINE. A RARE CORNER-MARGIN ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT 1847 ISSUE.

Examples of the 5c 1847 Issue with corner sheet margins are scarce, but with original gum they are very rare, and this stamp from the earliest printing and state of the plate is truly remarkable.
