Sale 1066, Lot 13, First Issue Imperforate40c Inland Exchange, Imperforate (R53a). Large to huge margins, bright color, light manuscript cancel

EXTREMELY FINE. A RARE SOUND LARGE-MARGINED EXAMPLE OF THE 10-CENT INLAND EXCHANGE IMPERFORATE ISSUE.

Almost every example of this First Issue rarity we have offered has had a document crease or margins close or cutting in on at least one side. The example in the Scarsdale collection was sound, but its margins were smaller than those of this stamp.
