10c Green, Ty. IV (34). Position 86L1, recut at top, deep rich color, choice centering with evenly-balanced margins, light strike of circular datestamp leaves entire design clearly visible

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 10-CENT TYPE IV. A DIFFICULT ISSUE TO OBTAIN IN HIGHER GRADES.

10c 1855 Type IV stamps are defined by the recut of one or both outer lines at the top or bottom of the design. Type IV stamps come from only seven scattered positions on the left pane and one position on the right pane of Plate 1. Therefore, only 4% of the stamps from Plate 1 are Type IV.

With 1985 and 2000 P.F. and 2008 P.S.E. certificates (XF 90; SMQ $6,000.00). Only four have graded higher (all at 95) and five others share this grade.
