10c Dark Green, First Design (62B). Attractive centering and margins, wonderful dark shade and intense impression of the First Design printing, which provides the backdrop for a vivid red "New York Paid Sep. 24" circular datestamp

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A BEAUTIFUL USED EXAMPLE OF THE 10-CENT GREEN FIRST DESIGN WITH A VIVID RED CANCEL.

The 10c 1861 First Design (or Type I) was printed from Plate 4, which left very little space between the stamps for the 12-gauge perforation holes. The stamp offered here, in a deep shade and with a vivid red cancel has very similar eye appeal to the 62B offered in our sale of the Morton collection -- which has the same cancel dated the following month.
