EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A REMARKABLY CHOICE EXAMPLE OF THE 1860 5-CENT BROWN TYPE II WITH ORIGINAL GUM.

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 and Toppan Carpenter's imprecise perforating leave collectors with very few well-centered original-gum examples.
