FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 10-CENT 1847 ISSUE.

This stamp was hinged in the space for the 10c 1875 Reproduction (Scott 4) in a National album donated to The Western Reserve Historical Society. Not only is it the original 10c 1847 (Scott 2), but it has full original gum. It was probably "found" by an amateur philatelist and misidentified (one of the rare cases in which the discoverer chooses the least valuable option!). A great stamp and great story. (Image)
