10c Green, Ty. II (14). Original gum, large margins all around, rich colorEXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 10-CENT TYPE II 1855 ISSUE.
Given the wide spacing between subjects on the plate used to print the 10c 1855 Issue, one would expect to find an ample supply of examples in sound original-gum condition with four margins. However, such stamps are extremely rare.
With 2002 and 2015 P.F. certificates (XF 90). By way of comparison, P.S.E. has graded only six higher and three at this desirable grade.
