127   Image1c Blue, Ty. Ia (19). Plate 4 bottom row, deep rich color and proof-like impression on bright paper, unobtrusive strike of circular datestamp, choice centering for this difficult issue

VERY FINE AND CHOICE USED EXAMPLE OF THE PERFORATED 1857 ONE-CENT TYPE Ia, WHICH CLEARLY SHOWS THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TYPE.

Type Ia, imperforate and perforated, only comes from 18 positions in the bottom rows of the right and left panes of Plate 4. Due to difficulties in perforating sheets from Plate 4, many examples of Type Ia have perforations cutting into the design at bottom, which destroys the defining characteristic of the type. The example offered here, with choice centering and showing the full design, is very rare.

128   Image1c Blue, Ty. Ic (19b). Position 91R4, wide-spaced perforations at top and bottom, centered slightly to top right but clearly showing the characteristics of the type, deep shade on bright paper, neat blue town datestamp

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. PROBABLY THE WIDEST-MARGINED EXAMPLE OF THE RARE TYPE Ic, WHICH IS THE SCARCEST TYPE OF THE PERFORATED ONE-CENT STAMP. NEINKEN NOTES THAT THIS POSITION -- 91R4 -- YIELDS THE BEST EXAMPLE OF TYPE Ic.

The defining characteristics of Type Ic are similar to that of Type Ia, Scott 19, which has the design complete at bottom and partly complete at top. The difference between Type Ia and Ic is that the bottom right plume on the Type Ic is incomplete. Neinken classifies it as a sub-type of Scott 19, and the Scott Catalogue gives it a separate listing. Neinken notes that only eight or nine positions yield this type. Of these, only two are found on the bottom row of the plate (Positions 91R4 and 96R4). The other six or seven Type Ic positions were created either by plate burnishing prior to use or plate wear during use.

Wide-spaced perforated stamps are extremely rare and highly desirable. It has been assumed for years that the pins of the bottom row of the perforator were reset to create more space, but some students of the 1851-57 Issue are seeking alternative explanations for its occurrence. Whatever the cause, they are considered extremely rare.
