48° nh 3c Rose, Ty. I (25).> Original gum in <Mint N.H.> condition, bright color and fine impression, perfs well clear of framelines on three sides<><>^VERY FINE AND CHOICE. AN INCREDIBLY RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE
OF THE 1857 3-CENT PERFORATED TYPE I3c Rose, Ty. I (25). Original gum in Mint N.H. condition, bright color and fine impression, perfs well clear of framelines on three sides

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. AN INCREDIBLY RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 3-CENT PERFORATED TYPE I STAMP.

Unlike its Type II counterpart, the 3c Type I, which was produced in 1857 by perforating sheets from the earlier imperforate issue, is virtually impossible to find in Mint N.H. condition. Our search of previous auction catalogues confirms this observation. In addition, because the Type I plate did not provide sufficient space for perforations, stamps with complete lines on three sides are very scarce. Thus, a 3c Type I stamp in Mint N.H. condition with complete lines on three sides is a great rarity, of which only a sparse few exist.

FINE GEM. THIS IS EASILY ONE OF THE10c Green, Ty. III (33). Original gum, lightly hinged, deep rich color and proof-like impression, gorgeous centering with unusually wide and balanced margins, long and full perforations all around

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. THIS IS EASILY ONE OF THE FINEST ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLES OF THE 1857 10-CENT TYPE III IN EXISTENCE. THIS MARVELOUS STAMP HAS BEEN GRADED XF-SUPERB 95 BY P.S.E.

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. The example offered here, with superior centering, lightly-hinged gum, fresh paper and intense color, is a true condition rarity.

With 2009 P.S.E. certificate (OGph, XF-Superb 95, SMQ $26,800.00). This is the highest grade awarded to date and the only example to achieve this grade. (Image)
