1851, 1¢ blue, type Ib. Position 8R1E, light town cancel leaving the design characteristics entirely visible, four large margins to just touching the extreme edge of the bottom left plume, lovely blue pastel shade; small partly lightened stain at lower right edge, otherwise Very Fine to Extremely Fine, with clear 1998 & 2023 P.F. certificates. Scott No. 5A; $11,000.
Type Ib was produced only as an imperforate stamp. Six positions on Plate 1 Early provided 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, small portions of the bottoms were burnished away, with the exception of 7R. 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.
A Type Ib with large margins all around is a great rarity, particularly in sound condition. US$0 (Image)

A SCARCE LEOMINSTER PROVISIONAL LABEL USE, THE ONLY RECORDED EXAMPLE OF THIS "MISSENT & FORWARDED" FORMAT.
According to Chip Gliedman, Charles H. Colson of Leominster, Massachusetts, created small labels with postage due rates and instructional markings and applied them to letters requiring further actions or explanations. The use of such postmaster provisional postage due labels pre-dated the issuance of official U.S. Government postage due stamps in 1879 by almost 25 years. As most of his labels are formatted differently, they were apparently created either singly or in small batches. US$750-1,000 (Image)
