10c Yellow, Bluish (364). Vibrant color on nicely blued paper, bold strike of duplex cancel and trace of circular datestamp at right, unusually choice centering for this difficult issueEXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB SOUND USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1909 10-CENT ON BLUISH PAPER. THIS IS THE FINEST OF THE THIRTEEN OFF-COVER EXAMPLES RECORDED IN OUR CENSUS.
Our census of Scott 364 used, illustrated at left and available at our website at http://siegelauctions.com/dynamic/census/364/364.pdf , records thirteen genuine off-cover examples, plus three used on covers. Virtually all are either faulty or off-center to some degree.
Census No. 364-CAN-02. Purchased by the owner from our sale of The Western Reserve Historical Society collection. With 2007 P.F. certificate. We are unsure why Scott Catalogue value is half that of the 6c and 15c, despite similar census numbers.
