10c Blue, Frameline (10). Unused (no gum), showing complete framelines on three sides and most of frameline at top, bright shade and crisp impression

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES 10-CENT FRAMELINE ISSUE, WHICH IS GRADED SUPERB 98 BY P.S.E. A REMARKABLE STAMP IN EVERY RESPECT.

The most important characteristic of Scott 10 is the frameline around each stamp. The lines were engraved on the plate and served as a guide for the siderographer when aligning the transfer roll to make the plate. Each stamp shares framelines with the adjoining positions. That makes examples such as the one offered here, with essentially four intact framelines, true condition rarities.

With 2015 P.F. and 2016 P.S.E. certificates (both graded NG, Superb 98; SMQ $20,000.00)
