Notes
5c Dark Brown (1a). A remarkable dark shade described as Grayish Brown on accompanying certificate, large even margins, beautiful color and impression, cancelled by two criss-crossed 7-bar red grid cancels, creating a beautiful waffle-iron impression, matching red "Newton N.J. Aug. 10" cds perfectly struck on 1850 folded letter to New York, Extremely Fine, superb and very rare - the Newton office received only 700 5c 1847 stamps (and no 10c 1847's) - only four recorded in most recent Alexander census, ex Matthies and Haas, with 1983 P.F. certificate
