Sale 1235, Lot 1027, 1857-60 Issue (Scott 18-39)10c Green, Ty. I (31). Original gum, lightly hinged, deep rich color, attractive centering and margins on bright paper

FRESH AND FINE. A RARE SOUND LIGHTLY HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 10-CENT TYPE I.

The scarcer types of the perforated 10c 1857 Issue are rarely found with original gum, and many have perfs cutting into the design on at least one side. The example offered here, clearly showing the characteristics of the type and with fresh color and gum, is highly desirable.

P.F. certificate no. 392293 stating "light soiling at bottom right" no longer accompanies, but the soiling in any event is no longer evident. With clear 2010 P.S.E. certificate
