 10c Rose (5). Top sheet
margin horizontal pair, large margins all around, insignificant nick in top
sheet margin, tied by "Williamsburg Va. Sep. 30, 1862" double-circle ds on

professional restoration -- pairs of the 10c Rose are extremely rare on
cover, and this has the potential to be one of the choicest appearing
examples, ex Keeling (Image) |
