Lot 46 Austria SC#499 5s Dark Red 1946 Scenic Issue With Re-Engraved Top & Bottom Panels Appearing Solid, A Fine OG Single, VF Appearing, But Some Gum Toning & Tiny Gum Thin, Click on Listing to See ALL Pictures, 2017 Scott Cat. $40

A fine OG example of the 5s dark red from the 1946 Scenic Issue. The stamp is VF centered, but there is a small gum thin, and a spot of toning on the gum. Therefore, we have graded it as fine. It is however, the scarcer second printing, with the top and bottom panels appearing solid, rather than screened, as the more common printing appears. 2017 Scott Cat. $40.
