EXTREMELY FINE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1855 10-CENT TYPE III IMPERFORATE ISSUE.

The 1855 10c stamps that have survived with original gum generally come from blocks and strips broken in recent years. Only a few exist without faults, and even fewer make the grade of Extremely Fine.

569 og Image10c Green, Ty. IV (16). Position 86L1, recut at top, original gum which covers approximately half the stamp, described as "small part original gum" on accompanying certificates, large margins to just touched at top right ornament, rich color, tiny thin at top

FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 1855 10-CENT TYPE IV WITH PART ORIGINAL GUM. ONE OF THE RAREST OF ALL CLASSIC UNITED STATES UNUSED STAMPS.

As an indication of rarity, we have offered only nine unused copies (four without gum, five with gum) in all of our Rarities sales and in the last 14 years of auctions. Apart from the recent Frelinghuysen sale, the last time we offered an example with original gum was in our 1999 Golin sale.

With 1988 P.F. and 2007 P.S.E. certificates. Scott Retail as no gum $15,000.00. Scott Retail as with gum (Image)

570 og Image12c Black (17). Original gum, lightly hinged, huge even margins all around, bright shade and detailed impression on crisp paper, a few tiny toned spots on gum which are so trivial they are not even mentioned on either accompanying certificate

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 12-CENT 1851 ISSUE WHICH HAS RECEIVED THE GRADE OF XF-SUPERB 95 FROM P.S.E. AN EXCEEDINGLY DIFFICULT STAMP TO FIND WITH SUCH LARGE MARGINS AND IN SOUND ORIGINAL-GUM CONDITION.

The 12c 1851 plate was laid down with very little room between stamps -- just barely one millimeter, to be exact. For this reason, collectors have a difficult time finding stamps with large margins all around. The original-gum example offered here, with its unusually wide margins on all sides, is a true condition rarity.

Ex Scarsdale. With 1994 P.F. and 2006 P.S.E. certificates (OGph, XF-Superb 95; SMQ $20,600.00). This is one of only two original gum stamps graded 95, with none higher. (Image)
