The Wagshal Collection Part 4: Perforated One-Cent 1857-60 Issue continued...

Plate Four (Imprint, Straddle Pane and Centerline Examples, Scott 20 thru 22)
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
1086   1c Blue, Ty. IIIa (22).> Position 41L4 with <enter, Casilier & Co. ^BANK NOTE^ part imprint and N of plate number> in selvage at left, crisp impression, neat manuscript X cancel<><>^VERY FINE.

ANK NOTE" part imprint and "N" of plate number in selvage at left, crisp impression, neat manuscript "X" cancel

VERY FINE. THIS IS BELIEVED TO BE THE ONLY PERFORATED 1857 ONE-CENT SHOWING PART OF THE PLATE 4 NUMBER AT LEFT. A GREAT RARITY.

The Neinken book (p. 277) states that "No stamp, imperforate or perforated, showing the imprint and the plate number '4' from the left pane has ever been recorded." He also notes that apart from this stamp there are only two other perforated examples known from this same position, but that both show only a small part of the imprint. This is, therefore, the only perforated example which shows any part of the plate number.

FINE. THIS IS THE ONLY REPORTED PERFORATED STAMP FROM THIS POSITION SHOWING THE END OF THE LEFT IMPRINT. A GREAT RARITY.

Parts of the left imprint can be seen on Positions 31, 41, 51 and 61L. No copies are known showing the full plate number. This is the only recorded perforated example which shows the bottom of the imprint at left.

With 1980 P.F. certificate. Scott Retail as pair with no premium for the imprint (Image)

EXTREMELY FINE. A STUNNING USED STRADDLE-PANE MARGIN AND CENTERLINE EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 ONE-CENT TYPE III.

Only six positions along the two adjacent vertical rows of Plate 4 can possibly be Type III, therefore, centerline examples are rare (especially since the selvage was often removed). Accompanied by small plating chart showing the distinctive marks on this position. (Image)

II/III/IIIa (20/21/22). Positions 1/11/21R4, vertical strip of three with straddle-pane margin and centerline at left, blind perfs between selvage and stamps, top stamp Type II (a desirable top row Plate 4 position), center stamp has distinct breaks in top and bottom outer lines (a strong Type III position), bottom stamp is classified as Type IIIa despite presence of a small break in bottom line, each stamp with neat manuscript cancel, light crease in selvage only at top left, some slight toning in selvage only, bottom stamp (Type IIIa) tiny scuff at lower right

EXTREMELY FINE. A RARE VERTICAL STRIP OF THREE COMBINING THREE DIFFERENT TYPES FROM PLATE FOUR. THE TOP STAMP IS FROM THE TOP ROW OF PLATE FOUR AND CLEARLY SHOWS THE COMPLETE DESIGN AT TOP. THE CENTER STAMP, WHICH IS THE DESIRABLE TYPE III, IS ESPECIALLY CHOICE.

The only place on Plate 4 where this combination of types can be found is in the top three rows. Only one other place on the plate consistently produced this combination in this order. There are also three swing positions with this combination possible, but due to uneven plate wear these positions may not have produced this combination of types. The strip offered here is especially desirable due to the straddle-pane and centerline selvage.

Ex Neinken. Unlisted in Scott as a combination strip. Scott Retail as singles (Image)
