10c Black (2). Large to huge margins all around, crisp shade and impression, cancelled by black town datestampEXTREMELY FINE GEM. AN OUTSTANDING QUALITY 10-CENT 1847 STAMP AND VERY SCARCE WITH A BLACK TOWN CANCELLATION.
Ex "European Connoisseur". With 2015 P.S.E. certificate (XF-Superb 95; SMQ $4,000.00 for standard red cancel). We do not know how many 10c 1847s graded 95 are cancelled in black, which commands a $250.00 premium over the standard Scott value.
