10c Green, Ty. I (13). Huge margins all around including part of bottom sheet margin, rich color, bold strike of San Francisco circular datestamp

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A STUNNING USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1855 IMPERFORATE 10-CENT TYPE I.

The 10c Type I stamps are defined as having complete scrolls at bottom. They are only found on the bottom row of the plate (20 positions). For some reason, they were usually trimmed at bottom when they were separated, leaving a dearth of quality copies. This example, with its enormous margins, is an extreme exception to the rule.

With 1990 P.F. certificate.
