A DESIRABLE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT TYPE II BROWN 1860 SHADE IN REMARKA5c Brown, Ty. II (30A). With right part imprint selvage, original gum, lightly hinged, exceptionally well-centered and wonderful deep rich color

EXTREMELY FINE. A DESIRABLE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT TYPE II BROWN 1860 SHADE IN REMARKABLY FRESH CONDITION WITH A PERT-IMPRINT SHEET MARGIN.

Unlike its Orange Brown counterpart, the 5c Type II in Brown was not on hand in post offices when the 1861 demonetization order took effect. Therefore, original-gum examples of Scott 30A are far scarcer than Scott 30. The narrow spacing between subjects on the plate, as well as Toppan Carpenter's imprecise perforating, leaves collectors with very few well-centered original-gum examples.

With photocopy of 1997 P.F. certificate for right imprint and plate no. strip of three (bottom stamp) (Image Magnifier)
