AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE SUPERB $5 BUREAU ISSUE, ENHANCED BY A COLOR CANCELLATION.
Expertization: Hinrichs.
There are very few $5 Bureau issues in this superb quality as the stamps were not that well centered to begin with and due to their use in heavy parcels were usually heavily cancelled and damaged by rough handling. This example is a true condition rarity.
