10c Green, Ty. III (33). Original gum, barest trace of hinging, brilliant color, wide margins, full perforations all aroundVERY FINE AND CHOICE. A BEAUTIFUL LIGHTLY-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 10-CENT TYPE III. SCARCE IN SUCH PRISTINE CONDITION.
The first perforated 10c stamps produced by Toppan Carpenter from sheets printed from Plate 1 are notorious among collectors for their poor centering. They are also very scarce in original-gum condition because, unlike 10c Plate 2 stamps (Scott 35), there were no supplies on hand in 1861 when the issue was demonetized due to the outbreak of the Civil War.
Ex McKinney. With 1999 P.F. certificate
