10c Green, Ty. III (15). Original gum, enormous margins all around, deep rich color and proof-like impression which shows every subtle nuance of the designEXTREMELY FINE GEM. AN UNCOMMONLY CHOICE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1855 10-CENT TYPE III IMPERFORATE. THIS IS EASILY ONE OF THE FINEST EXAMPLES IN EXISTENCE.
The majority of sound unused examples of the 10c 1855 are without gum, and the few original-gum singles have faults. This superb original-gum stamp has extraordinary freshness and full balanced margins. It ranks among the best three or four examples by our firm during the past 13 years.
Ex "Angel." With 1985, 1991 and 2003 P.F. certificates.
