10c Black (2). Vertical pair, original gum, large to huge margins at left and top, full at bottom and just clear of framelines at right, intense shade, light vertical crease between stamps does not affect the design of either, accompanying certificate mentions small corner crease on bottom stamp and tiny thin spot on top stamp -- both of these are nearly undetectableFINE APPEARANCE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE ORIGINAL-GUM PAIR OF THE 10-CENT 1847 ISSUE.
To underscore the rarity of any original-gum multiple of the 10c 1847, there are only three unused blocks recorded (two with original gum), one of which is contained in the Hirzel collection at the Swiss PTT Museum. Only four pairs and a strip of three could be located in our computerized sale records using Power Search.
