Lot 2248 o
1857, 5¢ bright red brown, type I, well centered with perfs clear of design, lovely intense color and impression, light town cancel, couple trivial nibbed perfs at bottom (not mentioned on cert.), still an Extremely Fine gem; with 2002 P.F. certificate.Scott No. 28b $2,000.
In our opinion, the Bright Red Brown shade is bit more elusive than the rare Indian Red shade.
