10c Pale Brown, Special Printing (172). Without gum as issued, incredibly bright color, wide margins, scissors-separated as usual but leaving almost full intact perfs on three sides

VERY FINE AND CHOICE EXAMPLE OF THE 10-CENT 1875 CONTINENTAL SPECIAL PRINTING.

Our recently updated census records for Scott 172 contain 36 certified examples. A majority of these have been scissors-separated into the perforations on at least one side. Of the eleven copies with full perforations, most have either pulled perforations or are not centered. The example offered here should be considered highly desirable.

Unpublished Census No. 172-UNC-36. With 1986 P.F. certificate
