A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1855 10-CENT TYPE I. SCARCE WITH THE SHEET MARGIN.

Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Jun 2009, Sale 973, Lot 39

10c Green, Ty. I (Scott 13). Original gum, large margins to clear which shows the entire design, deep rich color, small sealed tear at top left described on accompanying certificate as a crease VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1855 10-CENT TYPE I, WITH THE TYPE CHARACTERISTICS CLEARLY VISIBLE. The Type I stamps are defined as having complete scrolls at bottom. They are only found on the bottom row of the plate (20 positions). Unfortunately, many were trimmed at bottom when they were separated, leaving a dearth of quality copies. The Type IV stamps come from only eight positions, but we would rank the two types equally in terms of the rarity of sound four-margined original-gum copies. A review using Power Search demonstrates exactly how rare this type is in sound, four-margin, original-gum condition. Prior to the Extremely Fine single we sold in the Whitman sale in January 2009 for $40,000 hammer, the last soun original-gum example we offered was in our 1999 Golin sale. With 1989 P.S.E. certificate

Cherrystone Auctions, Mar 2009, Sale 200903, Lot 29

10c Green, Ty. I (Scott 13). Original gum which is very lightly hinged and absolutely pristine, mostly large to huge margins incl. sheet margin at bottom, deep rich color and proof-like impression on crisp paper EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1855 10-CENT TYPE I IMPERFORATE. THIS SUPERB STAMP IS WITHOUT QUESTION ONE OF THE FINEST IN EXISTENCE. ITS GUM, MARGINS, COLOR, IMPRESSION AND OVERALL FRESHNESS ARE UNRIVALLED. Type I stamps come from the bottom 20 positions of the plate. They are the only stamps to show the design complete at bottom. For some reason the sheet margin at bottom was often trimmed away, leaving a dearth of quality copies. The Type IV stamps come from only eight positions, but we would rank the two types equally in terms of the rarity of sound four-margined original-gum copies. A review using Power Search demonstrates exactly how rare this type is in sound, four-margin, original-gum condition. The last example we offered in comparable condition was in our 1999 Golin sale, and the stamp offered here is clearly superior by virtue of the wider top margin. With 1987 and 2000 P.F. certificates
