EXTREMELY FINE GEM PAIR OF THE 10-CENT 1847 ISSUE SHOWING MISALIGNMENT OF THE ENTRIES. RARE AS A VERTICAL PAIR AND ONE OF THE FINEST EXTANT.
The subject of misaligned entries was addressed by Wade Saadi in the August 2010 Chronicle. He surmises that the reason only five U.S. stamps prior to 1870 had framelines is because the siderographer had difficulty aligning the entries and, therefore, designs with ornamental frames produced a better appearance.
From our 1997 Rarities sale. With 1990 P.F. certificate (Image)
