New York N.Y., 5c Black, "ACM" Initials (9X1). Horizontal pair, Positions 14-15, original gum, large to full margins, beautiful shade and detailed impression

VERY FINE AND CHOICE ORIGINAL-GUM PAIR OF THE 5-CENT NEW YORK POSTMASTER'S PROVISIONAL ISSUE WITH "ACM" INITIALS CONNECTED. ORIGINAL-GUM SINGLES AND MULTIPLES OF THE NEW YORK PROVISIONAL ARE EXTREMELY RARE.

We are aware of perhaps a half-dozen or so original-gum pairs. Of these, most have faults, including one with margin significantly in at bottom, and a horizontal strip of four with a heavy crease.

With 1994 and 2006 P.F. certificates. Scott pricing note states: "Nos. 9X1-9X3 and varieties unused are valued without gum. Examples with original gum are extremely scarce and will command higher prices."
