 5c Bright Blue, Special Printing (181). Well-centered and fresh, perfs complete all around without scissors separationA VERY FINE EXAMPLE OF THIS SPECIAL PRINTING RARITY We estimate that seven or eight 5c 1875 Special Printing stamps exist, this being one of the three finest examples. In our opinion, the 5c Continental printing on hard paper is undervalued in Scott, its counterpart on soft paper, Scott 204, is listed at $30,000, although twice as many examples are recorded.
