Sale 1227, Lot 2264, 3c-10c 1857-60 Issue (Scott 25-35)10c Green, Ty. III (33). Original gum, barest trace of hinging, brilliant color, wide margins, full perforations all around, tiny thin spot at top right

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A SCARCE LIGHTLY-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 10-CENT TYPE III.

The first perforated 10c stamps produced by Toppan Carpenter from sheets printed from Plate 1 are notorious among collectors for their poor centering. They are also very scarce in original-gum condition because, unlike 10c Plate 2 stamps (Scott 35), there were no supplies on hand in 1861 when the issue was demonetized due to the outbreak of the Civil War.

Ex McKinney and Odeneal. With 1999 and 2007 P.F. certificates, the former not mentioning the thin spot.
