Cat No: 5A
1851, 1¢ blue, type Ib. Position 8R1E, blue town cancels, clear to large margins, clear sharp impression with rich bright plate one early color, Extremely Fine, a wonderful sound full margin example of the rare 1851 1¢ type Ib, with 2007 P.S.E. certificate Graded (XF 90, SMQ $32,500). Scott No. 5A; $11,000.
A STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE STAMP WITH POSITION 8R1E BEING ONE OF THE TWO FINEST EXAMPLES SHOWING THE TYPE.
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)
