U.S.; General Issues, 1851, 1¢ Blue, Pos. 7R1E, Type I on Cover, #5, on printed return and partly printed address cover, trifle reduction at left, minor cover filing crease, very attractive usage of this extraordinarily rare classic stamp tied by Cincinnati, OH cds, to Mt. Vernon, IL, identified on back, minor cover faults not affecting adhesive not mentioned on cert. Ashbrook found only one position among 1000 entries on Plates 1E, 1L, 2, 3 and 4 that met this requirement; Pos. 7R1E. The fact that only one position met the Type I criteria is why Scott 5, a Type I imperforate stamp, is so rare. The Wagshal census of Scott 5 contains nearly 100 unduplicated records of stamps in singles and multiples, on and off cover. Therefore, #5 is the rarest of all U.S. regular issues prior to the 1868 Grills, and fewer than 20 covers survive, signed Ashbrook, Ex Siegel 1984 Rarity sale. 1990 P.F. cert. Scott $110,000.
