10c Dark Green, First Design (62B). Wonderful intense "August" color on bright white paper, light strike of red New York "Paid" credit datestampEXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL USED EXAMPLE OF THE FIRST DESIGN 10-CENT 1861 ISSUE. 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.
