10c Green, Ty. III (15). Original gum, lightly hinged, huge margins all around, radiant color and crisp impression

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1855 10-CENT TYPE III. THIS IS A MARVELOUS STAMP IN EVERY RESPECT -- GUM, MARGINS, COLOR AND OVERALL EYE APPEAL.

The 1855 10c stamps that have survived with original gum generally come from blocks and strips broken in recent years. Only a few exist without faults, and even fewer make the grade of Extremely Fine. The stamp offered here, which was cut from a strip of three, is one of the finest original-gum examples of Type III we have ever encountered.
