10c Pale Brown, Special Printing (172). Without gum as issued, scissors-separated as usual with full and intact perforations on three sides, deep rich color, tiny perf tip tear at top leftVERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN ATTRACTIVE EXAMPLE OF THE 10-CENT 1875 CONTINENTAL BANK NOTE COMPANY SPECIAL PRINTING.
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 wide margins and full perforations on three sides, is better than most.
