10c Green, Ty. I (13). Unused (no gum), huge margins incl. significant portion of adjoining stamp at right, deep rich color and proof-like impressionEXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 1855 10-CENT TYPE I.
The 10c Type I stamps only come from the 20 bottom-row positions of Plate 1. Despite this fact, it is unusual to find examples with as large a bottom margin as the example offered here.
With 1995 P.F., 1995 and 2012 P.S.E. certificates (XF 90; SMQ $11,300.00). This is the highest grade awarded to an unused example of this issue.
