10c Green, Ty. II (14). Original gum, large to huge margins all around, deep rich color and proof-like impression
EXTREMELY FINE. A STUNNING ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1855 IMPERFORATE 10-CENT TYPE II. WORTHY OF THE FINEST COLLECTION.
Given the wide spacing between subjects on the plate used to print the 10c 1855 Issue, one would expect to find an ample supply of examples in sound original-gum condition with four margins. However, such stamps are extremely rare.
With 1979 and 2006 P.F. and 2009 P.S.E. certificates (OGph, XF 90). Only six grade higher but we have offered only one of them, graded 98 (realized $29,000 hammer).
