10c Green, Ty. I (13). Position 100R1, huge margins all around, rich color on bright paper, neat strike of New York Ocean Mail circular datestamp with trace of integral grid at upper left

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1855 10-CENT TYPE I WHICH HAS BEEN GRADED SUPERB 98 BY P.S.E.

The 10c Type I stamps are defined as having complete scrolls at bottom. They are only found on the bottom row of the plate (20 positions). For some reason, they were usually trimmed at bottom when they were separated, leaving a dearth of quality copies. This example, with its enormous margins, is an extreme exception to the rule.

With 1993 P.F. and 2007 P.S.E. certificates (Superb 98; SMQ $6,000.00). Only one has graded higher (at 98J) and four others share this grade.
