EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB COMBINATION PAIR OF THE 10-CENT 1855 IMPERFORATE ISSUE CONTAINING POSITION 64L1 -- THE ONLY POSITION ON THE SHEET RECUT AT BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM.

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. Of these eight positions, 64L is the only one with recut lines at both top and bottom.

Ex Floyd and Wingate. With 1990 and 2018 P.F. certificates. Scott value as singles
