^Lot 414 1856 N-22 R5 Italic 5 VF20

1856 N-22 R5 Italic 5 VF20. Very slightly sharper with a very light scratch from the chin to the bottom of star 4. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth and attractive with only minor contact marks consistent with the grade. Glossy light olive and steel brown with subtle overtones of light bluish steel and sea green. A decent example of this very tough variety.
Estimated Value $150-UP.

Provenance: Ex Rod Burress-Ron Houseknecht.
