 10c Dark Green, First Design (62B). Choice centering with wide and even margins, deep rich color and proof-like impression beautifully complemented by red New York circular datestamp,
long and full perforations all aroundEXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE FIRST DESIGN 10-CENT 1861 ISSUE. AN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT STAMP TO FIND IN SUCH PRISTINE CONDITION. ESPECIALLY DESIRABLE WITH THE RED CANCEL. The 10c 1861
"First Design" (or Type I from Plate 4) is extremely difficult to find in well-centered and sound condition. This is partly due to the narrow spacing on Plate 4, which was used for the earliest printing. This stamp is nearly the equal of the 10c Type
I in our Sale 953 (lot 299), which realized $25,000 hammer. Ex Zoellner. With 1992 and 2006 P.F. certificates (Image) Search for comparables at SiegelAuctions.com |
