5c Red Brown (28). Choice centering with wide margins which are clear of projections on all sides, neat strikes of Charleston circular datestamp and red circular datestamp, long and full perfs all around

EXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 5-CENT RED BROWN.

This is one of the few used stamps in the Hoffman collection, because the opportunity to acquire a suitable original-gum copy never presented itself.

With 1999 and 2006 P.F. certificates
