10c Green, Re-Issue (106). Original gum, extra wide margins and almost mathematically perfect centering, intense shade and proof-like impression

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. AN INCREDIBLE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 10-CENT 1861 RE-ISSUE, GRADED SUPERB 98 BY P.S.E. -- SURELY THE FINEST IN EXISTENCE.

The 10c Re-Issue was printed from a new plate of 100 subjects, compared to the original plate of 200 in two panes. 10,000 stamps were printed (100 impressions). Only 451 of the 10c were sold; the remaining 9,549 were destroyed on July 16, 1884.

With 1985 P.F. and 2003 P.S.E. certificates (Mint OG, Superb 98; SMQ $22,500.00). This is the highest grade awarded and it is shared by only one other (offered in our 2013 Curtis Sale 1057), a statistic that has not changed since 2008.
