3c Orange Brown, Ty. I (10). Position 61R1i showing one line recut in upper left triangle, large to huge margins including interpane margin at left, deep rich copperish shade, particularly sharp impression on fresh paper, Savannah Ga. Aug. 12 (1851) datestamp, Extremely Fine Gem, with 2010 P.S.A.G. certificate mistakenly identifying stamp as No. 10A, but accurately grading stamp as Superb 98J; also with 2015 P.S.E. certificate with correct No. 10 identification, but mystifyingly undergrading this stamp as XF-Superb 95 (SMQ $1,300.00) -- if this is not a 98 or at least a 95J, what is? -- specialists who know how rare Scott No. 10 is in this quality will ignore the grade and bid appropriately
