Cherrystone Auctions, Jun 2012, Sale 201206, Lot 52

10c Green, Re-Issue (106). Deep rich color and proof-like impression on bright paper, unusually choice centering with wide margins, face-free strike of double-oval cancel, unpunched perf at bottom left not mentioned on accompanying certificate EXTREMELY FINE GEM. THIS IS THE FINEST USED EXAMPLE OF THE 10-CENT 1861 RE-ISSUE IN EXISTENCE. ONLY FIVE USED EXAMPLES ARE RECORDED, MAKING THIS THE RAREST IN USED CONDITION AFTER THE 90-CENT. ONLY THREE OF THE FIVE USED COPIES ARE SOUND. ONE OF THE RAREST OF ALL USED UNITED STATES STAMPS. The 10c Re-Issue was printed from a new plate of 100 subjects, compared to the original plate of 200 in two panes. 10,000 stamps were printed (100 impressions). Only 451 of the 10c were sold, the remaining 9,549 were destroyed on July 16, 1884. Our census of Scott 106 used, shown below and available at our website at http://siegelauctions.com/dynamic/census/106/106.pdf , records only five examples, of which just three are sound. The example offered here, with wide and balanced margins, gorgeous color, a face-free cancel and in sound condition, is the finest of the five. The 10c has the lowest survival rate (after the 90c) of any of the Re-Issues, which is surprising, because after June 1, 1867, the registry fee could be paid by stamps, and the 10c fee was in effect when the 10c 1861 Re-Issue was in circulation. Census No. 106-CAN-01. Ex Sheriff and Zoellner. With 2009 P.F. certificate. Scott Catalogue value is far too low and has not changed in many years, despite the fact that the Mayer copy brought $30,000 hammer in 2003, when its rarity was still not fully understood. The 90c, with four known, catalogues $225,000.00
