Lot Description

10c Gray Blue, "TEN" (9b). Block of 20 in 5 x 4 format, original gum, clear to large margins except one stamp just in at top, rich color in the Gray Blue sub-shade, horizontal and vertical creases between rows causing some slight splits, creased areas a bit rubbed on surface, two center stamps and bottom right stamp have minor faults, paperclip stain at center has been removed

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. ONE OF THE LARGEST KNOWN MULTIPLES OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES "TEN" ISSUE.

This is the second largest multiple we have offered in one of our auctions since the 1990s and in all our Rarities sales since 1964. The block of 22 offered in Kilbourne Part One (Sale 1186, lot 761) is the largest we have offered. The C.S.A. Catalog states that an unused block of 30 is known, but we believe that block has been cut into smaller units.

Ex Souren. From our 1966 and 1970 Rarities sales. With 1970 P.F. certificate. Scott Retail $25,000.00 as blocks of four and pairs (Image)
