VERY FINE APPEARANCE. ONLY 19 SINGLE USED EXAMPLES OF THE 6-CENT 1917 ISSUE PERF 10 AT TOP OR BOTTOM ARE RECORDED IN OUR CENSUS, OF WHICH ONLY SIX ARE CONFIRMED AS SOUND.

Our census of Scott 506a, available at our website at https://siegelauctions.com/census/us/scott/506a , contains 21 certified used copies, including two with transitional perfs in a block. Most have faults ranging from pulled perfs to creases. Only seven singles do not have precancels. The example offered here, with transitional perfs and a duplex cancel, is particularly desirable.

Census No. 506a-CAN-01. With 1950 and 2008 P.F. certificates
