The "Flagship" sale of United States stamps #660

5¢ pale brown (1), beautiful strike of red "way 5" cancellation, magnificent example of the scarce and easily misidentified pale brown shade, a marvelous stamp nicely contrasted by the well struck postmark, a "must have" for the 1847 specialist, as this desirable color variety is incredibly elusive; light creases are of little consequence considering how scarce this pale brown shade is, especially with such a desirable cancellation, Very Fine appearance; 1978 P.F. certificate. Scott $925.
