St. Louis, Missouri, 10c Black on Bluish Pelure (11X8). Type I, Position 2, large to ample margins, manuscript numeral "10" cancel, light diagonal crease at bottom right

VERY FINE EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 10-CENT ST. LOUIS PROVISIONAL ON PELURE PAPER.

A survey of our Levi records and auction catalogues produced a tally of approximately 35 examples of the 10c Pelure off and on cover. The vast majority of these stamps have faults, many severe, or margins cutting into the design. This is one of the finest we have encountered, and it is especially desirable with the numeral "10" manuscript cancel.

With 2012 P.F. certificate. Scott value $15,000.00, but footnote states: "Values of Nos. 11X7-11X8a, on and off cover, reflect the usual poor condition of these stamps, which were printed on fragile pelure paper. Attractive examples with minor defects sell for considerably more."
