1c 1851-56 Issue (Scott 5-9) continued...
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
547   Image1c Blue, Ty. III, Position 99R2 (8). Large margins including part of bottom sheet margin, deep rich color, neat strike of circular datestamp

EXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL USED EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 1851 ONE-CENT IMPERFORATE TYPE III FROM POSITION 99R2. THIS POSITION YIELDS THE BEST EXAMPLE OF 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).

EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. A HANDSOME AND RARE PAIR OF THE TYPE III 1851 ONE-CENT IMPERFORATE ISSUE.

There are only a small number of adjoining Type III positions on Plate 4, which produced both imperforate and perforated stamps. Imperforate Type III pairs are extremely rare. This pair shows clear breaks in the lines at top and bottom and comes from two "swing" positions, 23-24L4, which transformed from Type IIIa to Type III as the plate wore.

551° og Image1c Blue, Ty. IIIa (8A). Plate 4, original gum, lightly hinged, huge even margins all around with wide break at top and showing part of adjoining stamp at top, deep rich Plate 4 color and proof-like impression

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 IMPERFORATE ONE-CENT TYPE IIIA. SUPERB IN EVERY RESPECT.

Stamps printed from Plate 4 were issued in April-June 1857 before perforations were introduced. The relatively small number of imperforate Plate 4 stamps issued during this period explains the rarity and desirability of any of the imperforate stamp types produced from this plate.

The Type IIIa from Plate 4 with original gum is extremely rare. We have offered only a handful in similar condition over the past 15 years. A look at the P.S.E. Population Report also gives an indication of its rarity in better condition -- only one has graded higher than 50 (graded 90 and offered in our 2015 European Connoisseur's Collection, realized $17,500 hammer)
