Unusual as is issuance of the Great Writ of Habeas Corpus, 1 rarer still is the classic § 2255 unlawful sentence. The confused recоrd in this case, however, indicates that Defendant appаrently has been sentenced to a longer term than the statutе allows. Accordingly, we vacate and remand the District Court’s оrder denying § 2255 relief for further appropriate proceedings.
Defendant was convicted on his pleas of guilty to post office burglary and possession of stolen money orders, violations of 18 U.S.C.A. §§ 2115 2 and 641. Importantly, Count I of the indictment encompassed the § 2115 violation, while Count II involved the § 641 charge. The transcript of the sentencing hearing held on February 13,1967 contains the following crucial language: “The Court sentences you to ten years in the penitentiary on Count One, and the other counts, one year; all counts to run concurrently; and so all of your years will run concurrent with your ten year sentence.”
Thus, it appears that Defendant has been sentenced to ten years for violаting 18 U.S.C.A. § 2115, since that was Count One of the indictment. The maximum sentence allowable under § 2115 is five years.
Of course, the transcript may be in error. The formal written judgment of conviction and sentence signеd the same day the sentencing hearing was held states that the ten year sentence is assessed for Count Two, and that the onе year sentence is under Count One. As there is a variation betwеen the oral sentence and the written judgment 3 we vacate and remand the *1102 ease for hеaring and Findings of Fact regarding the term of the sentence orally 4 prоnounced, and for resentencing to the extent appropriate and permissible.
Vacated and remanded.

. A ten year sentence is permissible under § 641, which prc vides:
Whoevеr embezzles, steals, purloins, or knowingly converts to his use or the use of another, or without authority, sells, conveys or disposes оf any record, voucher, money, or thing of value of the United Stаtes or of any department or agency thereof, or аny property made or being made under contract for the United States or any department or agency thereof; оr
Whoever receives, conceals, or retains the same with intent to convert it to his use or gain, knowing it to have been еmbezzled, stolen, purloined or converted—
Shall be fined not mоre than $10,000 or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; but if the value of such property does not exceed the sum of $100, he shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
The word “value” means face, par, or mаrket value, or cost price, either wholesale or rеtail, whichever is greater.
