10c Green, Ty. IV (16). Position 86L1, recut at top, original gum, large margins to full at top, rich color, faint horizontal crease at bottom mostly in margin

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE FOUR-MARGIN ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1855 10-CENT TYPE IV IMPERFORATE. ONE OF THE RAREST OF ALL CLASSIC UNITED STATES UNUSED STAMPS.

As an indication of rarity, we have offered only ten other unused copies in all of our Rarities sales and in the last 20 years of our auctions, and only one of those has full original gum (five have part original gum and one has disturbed gum)

With 1999 P.S.E. certificate.
