5c Red Orange (1c). Large margins to clear, brilliant color in the true Red Orange shade, light strike of red cancel

VERY FINE AND CHOICE USED EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 5-CENT 1847 ISSUE IN THE RED ORANGE COLOR.

This is the scarcest Scott-listed 5c 1847 shade and is rarely offered in sound four-margin condition. This stamp was expertized as Red Orange by the late Calvet M. Hahn and has the most vivid color we have encountered in years.
