A group of 5 fine used 5c dark blue seal stamps from the 1880-1896 Third Cents Issue, which still show a range of sub-shades even within this group. This stamp was issued both on horizontal and vertical wove papers, as well as stout and soft papers. I note that this group includes both stout and soft papers. Perforations also vary from 11.9 to 12.2, though I have not checked them on these. The upper spandrels also exist with re-entries, though I did not see any in this lot. Unitrade values these stamps in this grade at $40. The stamps offered here grade F-65.
