25" circular datestamp on blue 1847 folded letter to Vienna N.Y., faint vertical file folds well away from the stampEXTREMELY FINE GEM. THIS IS WITHOUT QUESTION THE FINEST CORNER-MARGIN COPY OF THE 10-CENT 1847 ISSUE ON COVER. FROM A NEW
DISCOVERY, WHICH WAS OFFERED TO THE MARKET FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OUR 2006 RARITIES SALE. In his extensive census of the 10c 1847 issue with corner sheet margins, Philip T. Wall records a total of sixteen used stamps on or off cover (another
three or four covers have since been recorded). Others can be plated as corner margin positions but do not show significant sheet margins. Many of these have faults, the most common being creases in the selvage. This cover was part of a recent
find of eleven 5c and 10c 1847 covers, which were discovered in 2004 in Geneva N.Y. Nine of the eleven are addressed to Samuel Baldwin. With 2006 P.F. certificate. (Image) Search for comparables at SiegelAuctions.com |
