10c Green, Ty. IV (34). Position 3R1, recut at top, choice centering with wide and balanced margins, deep rich color and proof-like impression, neat strike of circular datestamp

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 10-CENT TYPE IV, FROM THE SO-CALLED "MISPLACED RELIEF" POSITION.

The 1857 10c Type IV stamps come from eight positions scattered throughout Plate 1 that have the top, bottom or both lines recut. Only 4% of all 10c Plate 1 stamps produced were Type IV's, and an even smaller percentage was issued with perforations. This is the only position on the right pane of the plate which was recut.

With 2002 P.F. certificate
