5c Brown, Ty. II (30A).
Original gum, wide margins with perforations clear of design all around,
dark shade and detailed impressionEXTREMELY FINE. THE 5-CENT TYPE II BROWN IS RARE IN THIS CHOICE ORIGINAL-GUM CONDITION. 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.
