5c Red Orange (1c). Huge margins to ample at top showing part of adjoining stamp at bottom, marvelous Red Orange color, nicely complemented by red grid cancel

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A RARE FOUR-MARGIN SOUND EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT 1847 ISSUE IN THE RED ORANGE SHADE. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST ELUSIVE SHADES TO OBTAIN IN ANY CONDITION.

As an indication of rarity, we have not offered an example of this shade since December 2004.

With 2007 P.F. certificate.
