47 ng Image10c Green, Ty. I (13). Unused (no gum), huge margins to clear, gorgeous color on bright white paper

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A BEAUTIFUL AND FRESH UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 1855 10-CENT TYPE I IMPERFORATE ISSUE.

The Type I stamps are defined as having complete scrolls at bottom. They are only found on the bottom row of the plate (20 positions). Unfortunately, many were trimmed at bottom when they were separated, leaving a dearth of four-margin copies.

48 ng Image10c Green, Ty. I (13). Unused (no gum), full to large margins, dark shade, accompanying P.F. certificate states "bleached to remove staining" but the rich color and paper lead us to conclude that some brownish gum was soaked off, sharp impression clearly showing the complete design at bottom

49 og Image10c Green, Ty. II (14). Original gum, three large margins, full at bottom, deep rich color

VERY FINE AND CHOICE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1855 10-CENT TYPE II IMPERFORATE.

Given the wide spacing between subjects on the plate used to print the 10c 1855 Issue, one would expect to find an ample supply of examples in sound original-gum condition with four margins. However, such stamps are extremely rare.

54   Image12c Black (17). Large to huge margins all around including parts or traces of six surrounding stamps, beautiful deep shade and neatly struck Boston large "Paid" grid cancel

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. ONE OF THE MOST ATTRACTIVE USED EXAMPLES OF THE 12-CENT 1851 ISSUE WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED, GRADED GEM 100 BY THE PHILATELIC FOUNDATION.

Many collectors have a tendency to discount how difficult it is to find imperforate classics in such superb condition. The assumption is that there are multiples which can be split to "make" perfect singles. However, one would need a lightly-cancelled block of nine or sheet margin block of six, with no wrinkles or other minor defects, to produce a single such as the one offered here.
