10c Dark Red on White, Official, Die WD5, Full Corner (UO25, UPSS WD16). Unused, 51 x 99mm, comprising nearly the full right quarter of the entire, fresh color and clear embossing

EXTREMELY FINE. A SPECTACULAR AND RARE LARGE SIZED FULL CORNER OF THE 10-CENT DARK RED ON WHITE WAR DEPARTMENT REAY ISSUE.

The 2012 UPSS catalogue records just one mint entire of the 10c Dark Red on White, though experts we have consulted question the existence of a full entire. This is the largest corner recorded by Porter Venn and is unusual in its vertical dimension which captures the full height of the size 21 entire. Only 500 were issued.
