1239° og Image5c Red Brown (28). Original gum, h.r., intense 1858 shade and detailed impression, in our opinion 5c Type I stamps in this shade are the Bright Red Brown (Scott 28b), small thin at bottom right corner

FINE APPEARANCE. THE 1857 5-CENT RED BROWN IS AN EXTREMELY RARE STAMP WITH ORIGINAL GUM. THIS IS ONLY THE THIRD SINGLE WITH ORIGINAL GUM WE HAVE OFFERED IN MORE THAN FOURTEEN YEARS OF AUCTIONS. ONE OF THE GREATEST UNHERALDED ORIGINAL-GUM RARITIES OF CLASSIC UNITED STATES PHILATELY.

The perforated 5c 1856” Red Brown (Scott 28) stamps were made from the stock of imperforate stamps on hand in 1857 when perforations were introduced (an example is offered in the previous lot). The 1858 printing, the first after perforations were introduced, was in the Bright Red Brown and Indian Red shades. The perforated 5c Type I stamps in any shade of Red Brown are very rare in unused or original-gum condition. In the past thirteen years we have offered over 200,000 auction lots of primarily U.S. stamps. During that time, we have sold only two other Scott 28 singles with original gum and the block of four in the Whitman sale. In our opinion, the Scott Catalogue value for Scott 28 with original gum is too low. The number of original-gum Scott 28 singles falls somewhere between the numbers for the Brick Red (Scott 27) and the Indian Red (Scott 28A), which catalogue $80,000.00 and $175,000.00, respectively.
