**1851 1¢-5¢ Issues**
LotNo.	Symbol	CatNo.	Lot Description
2275	()	5A var.	1851, 1¢ blue, type Ib. Position 6R1E, no gum, large margins to just shaving outer tips of ornaments at bottom, deep color & sharp impression, Post Office fresh, Extremely Fine and choice. Scott No. 5A var.; $18,000. ONE OF THE FINEST KNOWN EXAMPLE OF THIS VERY RARE 1851 1¢ BLUE, TYPE IB - A STUNNING GEM. Type Ib was issued only in imperforate form. Just six positions on Plate 1 Early - 3R, 4R, 5R, 6R, 8R, and 9R - produced stamps classified as Type Ib, identified by a complete design at the top and an almost complete design at the bottom. When originally entered onto the plate, these six positions (along with 7R1E) showed full designs at both top and bottom; however, unlike 7R, small portions of the bottom design were later burnished away. Among the Type Ib positions, 6R and 8R retain more of the bottom detail than the others, making them especially desirable examples of the type.
