3118		15c Brown & Blue, Ty. I (118). Original gum, lightly hinged, unusually choice centering with wide margins, sharp impressions with perfectly aligned vignette and frame, bright colors and overall freshness rarely encountered in this issue EXTREMELY FINE. THE 15-CENT 1869 TYPE I IS VERY RARE IN THIS CHOICE ORIGINAL-GUM CONDITION. A SPECTACULAR STAMP AND CERTAINLY ONE OF THE FINEST KNOWN. The 15c Type I comes from the first 1869 printing, in May 1869 the 15c went to press using the second frame plate, which produced Type II. In a condition census, both Type I and II would show similar numbers known in the top tier of original-gum condition -- probably 8 to 10 of each. However, Type I is generally a rarer stamp and carries a much higher Scott Catalogue value With 2000 P.F. certificate (Image) Search for comparables at SiegelAuctions.com	10,000.00 SOLD for $7,000.00 Will close during Public Auction
