The Frelinghuysen Collection, Part Two: United States Stamps continued...

5c 1857-60 Issue (Scott 27-30A) continued...
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
175 ogbl Image5c Brown, Ty. II (30A). Block of four, original gum, h.r., minor adherences on back, bright color, unusual plate wash between bottom stamps due to overinking, top left stamp tiny pinpoint thin speck

FINE-VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE ORIGINAL-GUM BLOCK OF FOUR OF THE 1860 5-CENT TYYPE II IN THE BROWN SHADE. VERY FEW BLOCKS ARE KNOWN, AND THIS ONE IS IN VERY DESIRABLE CONDITION.

The Brown Type II is far rarer in multiples than the Orange Brown, because unlike the 1861 Orange Brown, the earlier printing in Brown was not left in Southern post offices when the issue was demonetized in August 1861. The largest recorded multiple is the block of 20 offered in this sale, followed by a block of nine with plate no. and imprint at left, one horizontal block of six (creased thru bottom three stamps) and approximately a half-dozen blocks of four. Photos of most of the known blocks can be located on our website using Power Search, which will provide visual confirmation of the generally poor centering and condition of most surviving multiples.
