5c Blue (179). Original gum, lightly hinged, incredibly wide Jumbo margins and impeccably centered, strong color, clear impression

EXTREMELY FINE. THE 1875 5-CENT TAYLOR IS RARELY SEEN IN THIS CHOICE ORIGINAL-GUM CONDITION.

With 1988 P.F. and 2008 P.S.E. certificates (XF 90 Jumbo; SMQ $2,050.00 as 90, $3,600.00 as 95). This is the only 5c Continental printing to receive this grade, with none higher. The wider side margins do not fit with P.S.E. criteria for 95, but in our opinion this is essentially perfectly centered.
