1851, 1¢ blue, type Ib. Position 8R1E, light town cancel leaving the design characteristics entirely visible, four large margins to just touching the extreme edge of the bottom left plume, lovely blue pastel shade, Very Fine to Extremely Fine, with 1998 P.F. certificate.
Scott No. 5A; $11,000.

A STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE STAMP WITH POSITION 8R1E BEING ONE OF THE TWO FINEST EXAMPLES SHOWING THE TYPE.

Type Ib was produced only as an imperforate stamp. Six positions on Plate 1 Early provided stamps qualifying as Type Ib -- Positions 3-6R and 8-9R -- distinguished by the complete design at top and nearly complete design at bottom. When first entered on the plate, these six positions (as well as 7R1E) had the complete design at top and bottom. However, small portions of the bottoms were burnished away, with the exception of 7R. Positions 6R and 8R had less of the bottom erased than the other Type Ib positions, and for this reason they are more desirable examples of the type.

A Type Ib with large margins all around is a great rarity, particularly in sound condition. US$0 (Image)

1851, 1¢ blue, type Ia. Position 97R4, huge even margins, deep, fresh color, light town cancellation, Superb, with 1997 P.F. & 2004 P.S.E. certificates, latter Graded Superb 98 (SMQ $90,000).
Scott No. 6; $9,250.

A SUPERB GEM WHICH IS ONE OF THE GREAT CLASSICS OF THE 19TH CENTURY. THIS IS ONE OF TWO GRADE SUPERB 98 BY THE P.S.E. WITH NONE HIGHER. THE EXAMPLE HERE IN OUR OPINION IS THE FINER OF THE TWO STAMPS.

Produced only from 18 of the 20 subjects in the bottom row of both panes of Plate 4, the 1¢ imperforate, type Ia owes it's rarity to the short three month period that the Plate 4 imperforates where produced. US$0 (Image)
