Sale 1290, Lot 1084, 1851-56 Issue (Scott 5-17)5c Red Brown (12). Unused, current certificate states "traces of gum and small stain at top left removed", this statement is based on the previous certificate this stamp received in 1996 (#302935 - which no longer accompanies), the amount of gum on the stamp is far more than "traces", as it covers well over half the stamp, full margins to just touching at right

FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 1856 5-CENT RED BROWN.

With 2019 P.F. certificate. Scott value $30,000.00 as original gum and $11,000.00 as no gum
