Auction: 158 - The Robert Van Buren Emmons FRPSL, Collection of United States and Hawaii
Lot: 126

#75 var., 5c (Bright) red brown, an unusual and scarce used single in a brilliantly bright color, even though not listed in Scott, when certified by the Philatelic Foundation it is called "bright red brown", we find the collector's designation of "fiery red" more appropriate, beautifully centered within large margins, trivial perf. flaws including small perf crack at top, otherwise extremely fine and a very scarce shade.
