LotNo. Symbol CatNo. Lot Description
3241 O 5A image1851, 1¢ blue, type Ib, Pos. 8R1E (Scott 5A), enormous sheet margin at top, ample to full margins other three sides, two strong strikes of 7-bar circular grid cancel, gorgeous deep blue color on radiant white paper, very faint diagonal crease only shows in fluid, still Very Fine to Extremely Fine, Positions 3-6R and 8-9R on the original printing plate which we call "Plate 1 Early" are classified as "Type Ib" and are distinguished by the complete design at top and nearly complete design at bottom. When first entered on the plate, these 6 positions featured the complete design at top and bottom, but small portions of the bottoms were ironed out when the entries were made below them. 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 type Ib and have a catalog value nearly double their counterparts. For some reason, pos. 7R did not have its bottom portion ironed out, and is thus the only position with a complete design (classified as "Type I").
