 5c Red Brown (1).
Horizontal strp of five, margins to in, bright shade, pen cancels, right
stamp pre-printing paperfold, tiny tear and crease between fourth and fifth
stamps, some soilingA FINE-APPEARING AND RARE STRIP THAT WAS PROBABLY USED TO PAY 24-CENT TREATY RATE TO ENGLAND. The 1847 Issue was rarely used to pay the 1848 U.S.-British treaty rate, but we suspect that this intact strip of five represents the typical 1c overpayment of 24c rate, rather than a 5-times 5c domestic rate.
