STAMP #: SL1,a,b

MINT/USED:

TYPE: Sheet

GRADE: VF

DESCRIPTION: 5c blue on white. Complete mint sheet of 25 showing the "Coat of Arms" INVERTED CENTRE at Position 19, B.R. value reads "15" at Position 12, "5-" Variety at Position 23 & "Broken Buckles" at Positions 2 & 18. Top center stamp with tiny gum thins, three stamps are hinged, the other stamps (including the errors) are NH. A fabulous sheet and a great rarity.

To the best of our knowledge, there was a sheet of each denomination from the first printing found (by Bileski) and all were broken up EXCEPT this one. This is why no collection has a mint 5c value with original gum. A few unused stamps have been found over the years but all are unused. Because this sheet has its gum, every stamp within the sheet is unique.
