Sale 1185, Lot 13, St. Louis Postmaster's Provisional, 1847 Issue and Reproduction10c Black (2). Large part original gum, large to huge margins all around, intense shade and impression, P.S.E. capsule notes "light gum crease" which is natural and typical of 1847's with original gum

EXTREMELY FINE. A RARE SOUND, LARGE-MARGIN ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 10-CENT 1847 ISSUE. A STAMP WITH FANTASTIC VISUAL APPEAL.

1969 and 1994 P.F. certificates no longer accompany (latter states previously hinged with large part o.g. and a light vertical crease). P.S.E. encapsulated (OGh, VF-XF 85; SMQ $75,000.00). It is important to note that this stamp still graded very highly despite the light natural gum crease and received an "OGh" designation from P.S.E. Based on centering the base numerical grade on this was probably XF 90. Only one has graded higher (at XF 90) and none share this grade.
