Slightly disturbed original gum, h.r., incredibly rich color and sharp
proof-like impression, beautifully centered with unusually wide margins for
this issueEXTREMELY FINE. A SUPERB ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE PERFORATED 10-CENT TYPE III 1857 ISSUE.
The first perforated 10c stamps produced by Toppan, Carpenter from sheets printed from Plate 1 are notorious among collectors for their poor centering. They are also very scarce in original-gum condition because, unlike 10c Plate 2 stamps (Scott 35), there were no supplies on hand in 1861 when the issue was demonetized due to the outbreak of the Civil War. An original-gum 10c 1857 stamp -- Types I, II, III or IV (all on Plate 1) -- in this choice condition is a rarity.
