A STUNNING UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 10¢ ON GREENISH— THE FINEST OF THE SIX RECORDED.
Expertization: 1969 and 2000 P.F. Certificates, "W.H.C." (Colson) backstamp.
According to Mr. Trenchard, after reviewing his records, this is the finest recorded unused example of any of the St. Louis 10¢ Bears. The Faiman sale contained one unused example of the 10¢ black on greenish small margins and faults that realized $29,700. The example offered here is far superior to the Faiman example.
