$500.00 Red Orange, Green & Black, Second Issue, "Large Persian Rug" (R133). Choice centering with mostly wide margins, deep rich colors and detailed impressions, blue "J. Wingate, (Jany 1?), New York" and embossed New York Surrogate's Seal, almost full original gum

EXTREMELY FINE. A SUPERB WELL-CENTERED AND SOUND EXAMPLE OF THE CELEBRATED $500.00 LARGE PERSIAN RUG. A RARE STAMP IN SUCH OUTSTANDING CONDITION AND ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL STAMPS IN ALL OF PHILATELY.

Only 204 were issued, and it is safe to say that most examples are faulty to some degree.

Unlisted in Kingsley census. 2007 P.F. certificate no longer accompanies. With 2008 P.S.E. certificate (F 70; Revenues are unlisted in SMQ). We feel this grade is unduly harsh for such an oversize stamp in sound condition
