Lot Symbol CatNo. Lot Description CV or Estimate
13 O 5A image#5A, 1c Blue, Ty.

14 O 6 image#6, 1c Blue, Ty. Ia, an extraordinarily fresh used example of this important classic rarity, being one of only a few certified sound examples recorded of Scott #6, possessing margins which range from just cutting at a couple of points to large (particularly at left and at top), leaving all of the essential and all-important Ty. Ia design characteristics virtually intact, intense dark shade and an incredibly detailed impression on bright fresh paper contribute to this stamp's overall eye appeal, unobtrusively cancelled by a crisp portion of a black postmark at bottom left, completely free of the myriad of flaws which affect most known copies, nearly very fine; the extreme rarity of Ty. Ia stamps is due to the fact that only 18 of 20 positions on the bottom row of plate 4 sheets produced this type, which shows a full design at bottom; 1984 PF certificate. (Image) $12,000.00

SOLD for $5,000.00

18 O 7 image#7, 1c Blue, Ty.
