EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 IMPERFORATE ONE-CENT TYPE III.
Type III is defined as having breaks in the outer lines at both top and bottom. Many Type III stamps have breaks that were created or enlarged by plate wear. Since the wear occurred over a period of time, the majority of stamps of this type (both unused and used) has small breaks in at least one line.
With 1992 P.F. certificate. (Image)

FINE. A RARE AND DESIRABLE PAIR OF THE 1851 ONE-CENT TYPE IV, COMBINING TWO DIFFERENT STYLES OF THE "PAID" PRECANCEL. PERHAPS THREE OR FOUR SUCH PAIRS EXIST.
The Ashbrook 1c 1851-57 book illustrates several varieties of actual and supposed precancels. Ashbrook surmised that "the markings... were printed from newspaper type. In all probability the overprinting was done in a newspaper printing plant, and the stamps were used on wrappers enclosing newspapers or more than probable, on the newspapers themselves." His theory was borne out by the discovery of a newspaper wrapper containing a copy of The American Eagle newspaper of Cleveland, Ohio, dated February 2, 1857 (sold in our 2004 Rarities sale).
