VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 10-CENT TYPE I. PARTICULARLY RARE WITH FOUR MARGINS.
The scarcer types of the perforated 10c 1857 are rarely found with original gum, and many have perfs cutting into the design on at least one side. The example offered here, clearly showing the characteristics of the type, is quite desirable.

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A BEAUTIFUL TYPE II-III COMBINATION BLOCK OF THE PERFORATED 10-CENT 1857 ISSUE. VERY RARELY FOUND IN SOUND CONDITION WITH GOOD CENTERING, RICH COLOR AND A NEAT CANCEL.
A Power Search review found only one other sound block of this combination, irregardless of centering. That block, in a lighter shade, was the partner to this block in the Twigg-Smith collection and is also ex Hansen (Sale 963, lot 381).

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A SCARCE LIGHTLY-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 10-CENT TYPE III.
The first perforated 10c stamps produced by Toppan Carpenter from sheets printed from Plate 1 are notorious among collectors for their poor centering. They are also very scarce in original-gum condition because, unlike 10c Plate 2 stamps (Scott 35), there were no supplies on hand in 1861 when the issue was demonetized due to the outbreak of the Civil War.

FINE APPEARANCE. THE 1857 10-CENT TYPE IV IS ONE OF THE RAREST CLASSIC UNITED STATES ISSUES IN UNUSED CONDITION.
The 1857 10c Type IV stamps come from only eight positions scattered throughout Plate 1, that have the top, bottom, or in the case of Position 64L (the stamp offered here), both lines recut. 64L1 is the only position to show both lines recut and as such it is the best example of the type. Only 4% of all 10c Plate 1 stamps produced were Type IV's, and an even smaller percentage were issued with perforations. We have only offered three others with any gum whatsoever in the past 20 years, and none of these were Position 64L1.
Ex Curtis. With 1996, 2011 P.F. and 2008 P.S.E. certificates. Scott value as no gum (Image)
