EXTREMELY FINE GEM. EASILY ONE OF THE FINEST USED 1855 10-CENT TYPE I IMPERFORATE STAMPS WE HAVE EVER OFFERED. A BREATHTAKING GEM.

For some unknown reason, even though the 10c Type I stamps come from the bottom row of the sheet, most have the sheet margin trimmed. The stamp offered here, with its wide sheet margin and enormous margins on all sides, is a true condition rarity.

With 1993 and 2005 P.F. certificates. With 2008 P.S.E. certificate (Superb 98 Jumbo; unpriced in SMQ above the grade of 98, SMQ $7,100.00 as 98). This is the highest grade awarded to date.
