1858, 5¢ brick red, type I (27), near perfectly centered with the perforations clear of the design all around with rich color on bright paper, New Orleans Feb. 1859 c.d.s. Fresh and choice Extremely Fine, unprice in SMQ.
Scott $1,700
AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE OF THE BRICK RED WHICH IS RARELY SEEN THIS WELL CENTERED.
Expertization: 1985 P.F. and 2005 P.S.E. graded VF-XF 85 Certificates.
Given the exceedingly narrow spacing of these stamps, the virtually perfect centering, together with the perforations that clear the design all around, we believe this stamp to be undergraded by at least one, if not two grades.
