10c Black (2). Position 97L1, full to large margins, crisp shade and impression on bright paper, centrally struck blue numeral "2" in circle handstamp of Philadelphia Pa.

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A LOVELY 10-CENT 1847 WITH THE BLUE NUMERAL "2" CANCEL OF PHILADELPHIA.

According to an article by Dr. Vernon R. Morris, Jr. in Chronicle 200, the "2" handstamp was used in Philadelphia to indicate payment in cash of "to the mails" carrier service for a destination outside the old city limits (pre-1854 consolidation). We have offered a cover in the past bearing a pair of the 5c 1847 Issue with the stamps tied by the same cancel and with a 10c integral-rate circular datestamp.

Ex Stollnitz and Saadi. With 1996 P.F. certificate. Pleases ee lot 183 of this sale for a 5c on cover with this cancel. (Image)
