A UNIQUE NEVER HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 1861 10¢ WASHINGTON ISSUE IN THE DARK GREEN SHADE - CERTAINLY ONE, IF NOT THE FINEST KNOWN NEVER HINGED EXAMPLES IN EXISTENCE.

One single bearing a gum crease, another single reperforated at top and a sound strip of three with fine-very fine centering. The are no never hinged examples certified by the P.F. in the elusive dark green shade.
