8c Olive Bister, Perf 10 at Top (508c). Pretty shade, face-free cancel at left, unusually choice centering for this difficult issue

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE SOUND EXAMPLE OF THE 8-CENT 1917 ISSUE PERF 10 AT TOP, WITH A FACE-FREE POSTAL CANCEL. ONE OF THE FINEST OF ONLY 22 EXAMPLES RECORDED IN OUR CENSUS.

Our census, available at https://siegelauctions.com/census/us/scott/508c , includes 22 used examples (none are known unused). Ten have postal cancels, and of these only five are confirmed as sound. Perhaps two or three other postally cancelled copies compare favorably the example offered here.

Census No. 508c-CAN-15. With 1972 A.P.S. and 2008 P.F. certificates
