10c Brown, Ty. I (282C). Mint N.H. with bottom selvage, radiant color, perfectly centered with Jumbo margins

EXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 1898 10-CENT BROWN TYPE I ISSUE. THIS STAMP IS GRADED XF-SUPERB 95 JUMBO BY P.S.E. — ONLY TWO GRADE HIGHER AND NO OTHERS SHARE THIS GRADE.

The 10c was changed from Green (Scott No. 273) to Brown because the 1c denomination (Scott No. 279) was changed to Green to meet the UPU color scheme.

Ex "Hanover". With 2009 and 2025 P.S.E. certificates (XF-Superb 95 Jumbo). Only two grade higher (at 98, we sold one in 2019 for $14,000) and none share this grade.
