10c Jefferson Davis type II single
Archer & Daly · 1863
CSA 10-cent greenish blue Jefferson Davis. Issued imperforate except for a small number of sheets experimentally perforated. Line engraved on steel by Frederick Halpin, transferred to steel printing plates, and printed by Archer & Daly, Richmond, Virginia. There are numerous minute differences between Type I and Type II, but the most easily discernable is the filling-in of the corner scrolls and the presence of a light outer line framing the entire design. "POD" [Post Office Department] stamped on reverse.
