2303 og image10c Dark Green, First Design (62B). Original gum, lightly hinged, rich color and sharp impression, choice centering for this extremely challenging issue, faint horizontal crease at top does not affect overall appearance

EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE AND REMARKABLY CHOICE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 10-CENT 1861 ISSUE FIRST DESIGN.

The 10c 1861 "First Design" (or Type I from Plate 4) is extremely difficult to find in well-centered, sound, original-gum condition, This is partly due to the narrow spacing on Plate 4, which was used for the earliest printing. Despite the nearly invisible crease, this stamp is one of the most beautiful original-gum examples of Scott 62B we have ever encountered.
