St. Louis, Missouri, 10c Black on Greenish (11X2). Type III, Position 6, unused (no gum), full to large margins all around, some non-obvious faults including small thin in margin, couple toned spots removed at left and not visible, small corner crease at bottom left entirely in margin

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 10-CENT ST. LOUIS PROVISIONAL ON GREENISH PAPER WITH FULL TO LARGE MARGINS.

A review of The Philatelic Foundation's records indicates that approximately ten unused examples of 11X2 are recorded. By far the finest is the incomparable original-gum corner-margin copy from the Frelinghuysen collection (realized $150,000 hammer in our Sale 1020), which is the only example with gum. Perhaps half are sound or potentially sound.

Ex Hind and traced by us to a 1957 Mozian sale. With 2018 P.F. certificate
