12c Claret Brown, Perf 10 at Top (512b). Deep rich color, neat "Reading PA" precancel, typical centering for this difficult issue

FINE AND RARE. FEWER THAN TEN EXAMPLES OF THE 12-CENT PERF 10 AT TOP OR BOTTOM ARE KNOWN TO US. ONE OF THE RAREST OF THE PERF 10 ON ONE SIDE VARIETIES.

As an indication of rarity, the last example we offered was in our sale of the Twigg-Smith collection in April 2001. Fewer than half of the examples in our census are sound.

With 2008 P.F. certificate (VG-F 60)
