9c Salmon Red, Perf 10 at Top (509a). Brilliant color, neat "Battle Creek Michigan" precancel, light horizontal crease at left center

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A SCARCE EXAMPLE OF THE 9-CENT FRANKLIN PERF 10 AT TOP.

At a certain point, partway through this stamp in the sheet, the defective perforating wheel changed from gauge 11 to gauge 10 along one row. Our comprehensive census of Scott 509a, which includes all of the records of the Philatelic Foundation, contains 21 used copies and one unused example (offered in our Whitman sale).

With 2008 P.F. certificate.
