22 O 6 image#6, 1c Blue, Ty. Ia, an extraordinarily handsome and choice used example of this important classic rarity, being one of only a few certified sound examples recorded of Scott #6, featuring very large margins at both top and bottom which are essential to fully identify the all-important Ty.

Ia stamps is due to the fact that only 18 of 20 positions on the bottom row of plate 4 sheets produced this type, which shows a full design at bottom; 1994 PF certificate. (Image) 10,100.00
