Confederacy, 1863, 10¢ blue, "frameline". Corner margin single, Mobile, Ala. town cancel, showing virtually four full framelines all around, four large even margins, rich deep color, a Superb gem. Scott No. 10; $2,500.
AN EXTRAORDINARY USED EXAMPLE OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES 10¢ FRAMELINE ISSUE - A STUNNING SINGLE WHICH IS CERTAINLY ONE OF THE FINEST EXISTING.
The framelines are the most important characteristic of Scott 10. The lines were engraved on the plate and served as a guide for the siderographer when aligning the transfer roll to make the plate. Since each stamp shares framelines with the adjoining positions, the example offered here with essentially four intact framelines is a true condition rarity.
After a quick search of our computerized records and the Siegel Auction site, this is in our opinion, the finest known off cover single. US$0 (Image)
