EXTREMELY FINE. A WONDERFUL EXAMPLE OF THE 1861 5-CENT TYPE II ORANGE BROWN. RARE IN WELL-CENTERED AND SOUND USED CONDITION.

The Orange Brown was issued just before the 1857-61 Issue was demonetized, and thus is very scarce in used condition.

Ex Dauer. With 1997 P.S.E. and 1997 and 2004 P.F. certificates.
