United States Classics, Featuring Select 1851-56 Issues offered by Gordon and Ronda Eubanks for the continued...

1c 1851-56 Issue, Types III-IIIa (Scott 8-8A)
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
28   Image1c Blue, Ty. III, Position 99R2 (8). Three huge margins including part of adjoining stamp at top and sheet margin at bottom, mostly large at left (just clear of upper ornament), gorgeous dark shade and proof-like impression, neatly struck circular datestamp leaves the characteristics of this distinctive position clearly visible, small scissors-cut in margin at top left

EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 1851 ONE-CENT IMPERFORATE TYPE III FROM POSITION 99R2. THIS POSITION IS THE BEST EXAMPLE OF THE TYPE III, WITH THE WIDEST BREAKS AT TOP AND BOTTOM.

Type III is defined by 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, a majority of stamps of this type (both unused and used) have small breaks in at least one line. The most notable exception is Position 99R2. According to the Neinken book, "The 99R2 stamp is a fresh entry, that was short transferred both at top and bottom, over an original entry that had been erased... The reason that 99R2 is the finest example of Type III is because of its very short transfer at top and at bottom, giving us the wide breaks in these lines." (p. 184).

29   Image1c Blue, Ty. III (8). Position 82L4, large margins all around, wonderful dark Plate 4 shade which is nicely complemented by red "U.S. Mail" New York carrier datestamp, clearly showing breaks at top and bottom (the defining characteristic of the type)

EXTREMELY FINE. A STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 IMPERFORATE ONE-CENT TYPE III WITH A RED CARRIER CANCELLATION.

Type III is defined by 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. This stamp is notable both for its overall condition and also for the clear breaks which are evident at both top and bottom. It should also be considered extremely rare with a red cancellation -- most have either black cancels or occasionally a blue cancel, neither of which stands out from the design as prominently as this red carrier datestamp.
