5c Brown (76). Original gum, strong color and beautifully balanced margins
EXTREMELY FINE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1863 5-CENT BROWN.
The 5c 1861-68 Issue was printed from plates with closely spaced subjects that left little room for the large 12-gauge perforations. The Brown shade, Scott 76, is scarce in original-gum condition, and truly rare in this high grade.
With 1999, 2007, 2014 and 2020 P.F. certificates. With 2005 P.S.E. certificate (XF 90). Only two hinged examples grade higher (at 95). SCV $1,400
