10c Black (Scott 2). Unused (no gum), three huge margins, close but clear at bottom, deep shade and sharp impression, small thin spot and faint trace of soiling on the forehead VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN ATTRACTIVE AND RARE UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 10-CENT 1847 ISSUE. The 1847 Issue is much scarcer in unused condition than other issues, because the stamps were demonetized in 1851. They could be exchanged for the new issue, but once the exchange period ended, the stamps would have no postage value. Considering the purchasing power of ten cents in 1851, it is not surprising that the stamps were either used or exchanged, rather than left for future generations of collectors With Weiss certificate (clear) and 2013 P.F. certificate Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Dec 2014, Sale 1090, Lot 1110 |
