Sale 1159, Lot 47, 1851-56 Issue (Scott 5-17)10c Green, Ty. I (13). Unused (no gum), huge margins to clear, gorgeous color on bright white paper

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A BEAUTIFUL AND FRESH UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 1855 10-CENT TYPE I IMPERFORATE ISSUE.

The Type I stamps are defined as having complete scrolls at bottom. They are only found on the bottom row of the plate (20 positions). Unfortunately, many were trimmed at bottom when they were separated, leaving a dearth of four-margin copies.

Ex Curtis. With 2000 P.F. certificate
