10c Green, Ty. I (31). Full original gum which has been slightly disturbed (described on accompanying certificate as "unused, original gum, previously hinged"), bright color and detailed impression, expertly repaired at bottom where there was a pulled perfFINE APPEARANCE. A RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 PERFORATED 10-CENT TYPE I.
The scarcer types of the perforated 10c 1857 are rarely found with original gum. Although the perfs touch at right, this Type I stamp has a wide bottom margin which clearly shows the type characteristics.
Ex Hoffman. With 2002 P.S.E. certificate
