10c Blue, Frameline (10). Large margins showing full frameline at left, virtually full at top and right and significant portion at bottom, bright shade, unobtrusive strike of double-circle datestamp

EXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL USED EXAMPLE OF THE 10-CENT FRAMELINE ISSUE, GRADED XF-SUPERB 95 BY P.S.E.

The defining characteristic of Scott 10 is the frameline between the stamps. The lines were engraved on the plate and served as a guide for the siderographer when aligning the transfers to make the plate. Each stamp shares framelines with the adjoining positions, so four-frameline copies are exceedingly rare.

Red backstamp. With 2019 P.S.E. certificate (XF-Superb 95; SMQ $8,250.00)
