10c Pale Brown, Special Printing (172). Without gum as issued, rich color and detailed impression, intact perforations all around, wider margins than normally seen

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A BEAUTIFUL SOUND EXAMPLE OF THE 10-CENT 1875 CONTINENTAL BANK NOTE COMPANY SPECIAL PRINTING. EASILY ONE OF THE FINEST IN EXISTENCE.

Our census of Scott 172 contains 38 examples. Most are scissors-separated into the perforations on at least one side. Of the eleven copies with full perforations, most have either pulled perforations or are not centered, limiting their desirability. The example offered here, with intact perforations on all sides and in sound condition, is very desirable.

Census no. 172-UNC-14. 1954 P.F. certificate no longer accompanies. With 2007 P.F. certificate (F-VF 75)
