EXTREMELY FINE GEM. AN OUTSTANDING USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 10-CENT TYPE IV. A DIFFICULT STAMP TO OBTAIN IN THIS CHOICE HIGH GRADE.

10c 1855 Type IV stamps are defined by the recut of one or both outer lines at the top or bottom of the design. Type IV stamps come from only seven scattered positions on the left pane and one position on the right pane of Plate 1. Therefore, only 4% of the stamps from Plate 1 are Type IV.

With 2009 P.S.E. certificate (XF 90; SMQ $6,000.00). Only four grade higher (all at 95) and five others share this grade.
