Notes
10c Black (2). Position 10L with large top right corner sheet margins, 5mm at right and 2mm at top, large margins other sides, sharp proof-like impression, tied by perfect strike of red grid, matching "Charleston S.C. Oct. 25/10" integral-rate circular datestamp on blue folded cover to New York, Ludlow Beebee correspondence
EXTREMELY FINE GEM. THIS IS THE UNIQUE CORNER-MARGIN COPY OF THE 10-CENT 1847 ISSUE ON COVER. A SUPERB SHOWPIECE.
In his extensive census of the 10c 1847 issue with corner sheet margins, Philip T. Wall records a total of fourteen used stamps, one unused, and this example on cover. Others can be plated as corner margin positions but do not show significant sheet margins.
Signed Ashbrook. With 1991 and 2002 P.F. certificates
