EXTREMELY FINE. A RARE SOUND AND CENTERED UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 10-CENT TYPE IV PERFORATED ISSUE. A GREAT RARITY OF THE CLASSIC ERA, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CHOICE CONDITION.
The 1857 10c Type IV stamps come from eight positions scattered throughout Plate 1 that have the top, bottom or both lines recut. Only 4% of all 10c Plate 1 stamps produced were Type IV, and an even smaller percentage were issued with perforations. Most are either faulty, off-center or both. This unused stamp with choice centering is outstanding.
