10 var.

#10 var., 3c Deep orange brown, a particularly rare and desirable mint example of one of the most difficult stamps of the 19th century to find mint, especially in this deep shade which is as intense and deep as we have seen, striking prooflike impression and possessing a marvelous overall brilliance, in addition this example possesses four clear to large margins, a most uncommon feature for this value, and including what is probably a portion of the top sheet margin, part o.g., accompanying certificate mentions light tone spots in the top margin which are totally inconsequential, not only because they are so light, but because most could be trimmed away and still leave a large margin, very fine and a stamp with tremendous eye appeal; 1995 PF certificate specifically identifying this as the deep orange brown shade.
