EXTREMELY FINE USED EXAMPLE OF THE PERFORATED 1857 10-CENT TYPE IV WITH BALANCED MARGINS AND A NEAT TOWN CANCEL, FROM THE ONLY POSITION RECUT AT BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM.
10c Type IV stamps are defined by the recut of one or both outer lines at the top or bottom of the design. Type IV stamps come from only seven scattered positions on the left pane and one position on the right pane of Plate 1. Therefore, only 4% of the stamps from Plate 1 are Type IV. Of these eight positions, 64L1 is the only one with recut lines at both top and bottom.
Ex Collier. With 1995 P.F. and 2011 P.S.E. certificates (VF-XF 85).
