A LOVELY USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 10¢ TYPE IV PERFORATED ISSUE WITH THE NEW YORK OCEAN MAIL CANCELLATION.

When the plate was being entered from the transfer roll (or rolls), three vertical rows were started with the B relief instead of the A relief. These were the first two rows of the left pane and the third row of the right pane. Only the first position in each vertical row is misplaced -- the rest of the plate was laid out with the A relief used for the top two rows. Position 3R1, one of the three misplaced relief positions on the plate, also bears the distinction of being one of eight recut positions and the only position recut on the entire right pane of the plate.
