5c Red Brown (28). Brilliant color on bright paper, in our opinion this is an Indian Red (although certified once as Bright Red Brown and most recently as Red Brown), neat strikes of New Orleans circular datestamp, almost perfectly centered with wide margins for this difficult issue

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT TYPE I PERFORATED ISSUE.

With 1986 P.F. certificate as Scott No. 28b and 2007 P.F. certificate as Scott No. 28 (VF-XF 85; SMQ $2,200.00). This is not even remotely close to the standard Red Brown shades.
