Best Answer

One of the most elusive of early United States stamps is the imperforate five cent issued in 1856. Produced from a single plate, it is estimated that only about 150,000 were sold before being replaced by the perforated version in 1857. The five cent value was created in part to serve the need for the five cent open mail rate.
