10c Black (2). Original gum which is only lightly hinged, large even margins all around, intense shade and impression, accompanying P.S.E. certificate notes two vertical gum creases at left, which are frequently found on 1847 stamps with original gum and are not mentioned on any of the three accompanying P.F. certificates

EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. A SUPERB ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 10-CENT 1847 ISSUE. ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT STAMPS TO OBTAIN WITH FOUR LARGE MARGINS.

The early imperforate issues are often found with margins close or cutting into the design, because of the difficulty in manually cutting along the narrow gap between stamps. This stamp was part of a pair that was divided in 1990.

With 1981 and 1990 P.F. certificates as a pair. With 1990 P.F. and 2006 P.S.E. certificates as a single.
