1c-3c 1851-56 Issue (Scott 5A-11A)
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
585   Image1c Blue, Ty. Ib (5A). Position 6R1E, large margins including top sheet margin to just barely touching at left, wonderfully bright early shade and sharp impression, deep red circular datestamp and neat black grid cancel, small thin spot at top

VERY FINE APPEARING EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 1851 ONE-CENT TYPE Ib FROM PLATE ONE EARLY, FROM ONE OF THE TWO POSITIONS THAT FURNISHED THE BEST EXAMPLES OF THE TYPE.

Type Ib was produced only as an imperforate stamp from Plate 1 Early. Six positions on Plate 1E furnished 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, unlike 7R, small portions of the bottoms were burnished away. 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.

With 1984 P.F. certificate (Image)

A RARE 1851 ONE-CENT IMPERFORATE VERTICAL PAIR, CONTAINING THE ELUSIVE TYPE Ib, WHICH APPEARS VERY FINE.

Type Ib was produced only as an imperforate stamp from Plate 1 Early. Six positions on Plate 1E furnished 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, unlike 7R, small portions of the bottoms were ironed out when the entries were made below them (this pair shows the entry below 5R).

With 1979 P.F. certificate. Unpriced in Scott as this combination pair. Scott Retail for Ty. Ib/II combination (Ty. II is a lesser stamp than Ty. IIIa) (Image)

589   Image1c Blue, Ty. Ia (6). Plate 4 bottom row, large margins to barely touched at right, deep rich Plate 4 color, town cancel, sealed tear bottom right corner

VERY FINE APPEARING USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 ONE-CENT TYPE Ia IMPERFORATE.

Stamps printed from Plate 4 were issued in April, May and briefly in 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 (Ia, Ic, II, III and IIIa). The extremely rare Type Ia, showing the full design at bottom, was furnished only by 18 of the 200 subjects on Plate 4 (the remaining two bottom-row positions were sub-type Ic).

With 1980 P.F. certificate describing the sealed tear as a repair (Image)
