10c Red Brown (J19). Mint N.H. with selvage at top, incredibly deep rich color on bright paper, three Jumbo margins, other margin wideEXTREMELY FINE. A HUGE MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 10-CENT 1884 RED BROWN POSTAGE DUE. A STAMP OF TRULY JUMBO DIMENSIONS.
An initial look at this remarkable stamp might lead the observer to conclude that the bottom margin is close. In fact, the bottom margin would qualify as wide on virtually any other example of this issue.
