#Type Ia, imperforate and perforated, only comes from 18 positions in the bottom rows of the right and left panes of Plate 4. Mr. Wagshal bought this "sleeper" in a May 1985 Siegel auction, where it was misidentified as Nos. 20/18 (and not photographed). Apparently we are only human. (Image)

Positions 81/91R4, rejoined vertical pair, both stamps Type Ic (E and F Reliefs, respectively), gorgeous color, light strikes of blue circular datestamp leave entire designs clearly visible, pair separated and rejoined, few flaws including bottom stamp thin spot

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE MULTIPLE OF THE DESIRABLE AND SCARCE 1857 ONE-CENT TYPE Ic, SCOTT 19b. NEINKEN NOTES THAT THE BOTTOM STAMP -- POSITION 91R4 -- IS THE BEST EXAMPLE OF TYPE Ic. THIS IS ALSO THE ONLY PLACE ON THE PLATE WHERE BOTH STAMPS IN A PAIR CAN BE TYPE Ic.

Type Ic is a sub-type of Type Ia. The difference between the two is that the bottom right plume on Type Ic is less complete. Neinken notes that only eight or nine positions yield this type. The two F Relief positions in the bottom row of Plate 4 (91R and 96R) are nearly identical to the other 18 Type Ia positions in the same row. Elsewhere on the plate, six or seven E Relief positions show Type Ic characteristics to a lesser degree. Four positions in the ninth row are Type Ic E Relief entries, but only one of these -- Position 81R -- adjoins one of the two Type Ic F Relief positions in the bottom row. Therefore, nowhere but 81/91R on Plate 4 does a Type Ic/Ic vertical pair occur.

Type Ic is a sub-type of Type Ia. The difference between the two is that the bottom right plume on Type Ic is less complete. Neinken notes that only eight or nine positions yield this type.

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE STRIP OF THREE OF THE 1857 ONE-CENT TYPE Ia, WITH STRADDLE-PANE AND ESPECIALLY DESIRABLE USED ON COVER. ONE OF THE RAREST AND MOST OUTSTANDING MULTIPLES FROM PLATE FOUR.

Type Ia, imperforate and perforated, only comes from 18 of the 20 positions in the bottom rows of the right and left panes of Plate 4. The 3c rate was a common rate and was often paid using horizontal strips of three of the 1c stamp. However, multiples from the bottom row of Plate 4 are extremely rare, both on and off cover. We doubt that more than two other strips on cover exist. The strip offered here is especially desirable as it has the straddle-pane margin at right.

Paid Nov. 27" circular datestamp was applied to stamps (either as a missent marking or to finish the job started in Iowa), top flap added and repaired along top edge not affecting stamps, top stamp (Type IIIa) slightly rounded corner at top right

FINE-VERY FINE AND STRIKING 1857 PERFORATED ONE-CENT PLATE FOUR MULTIPLE ON AN ATTRACTIVE COVER. AN EXTREMELY RARE COMBINATION OF ONE-CENT TYPES INCLUDING A PAIR OF THE RARE TYPE Ia WITH WIDE SELVAGE AT BOTTOM.

Type Ia stamps were produced from 18 of the 20 bottom-row positions on Plate 4 (the other two are Type Ic). After perforations were introduced in mid-1857, sheets on hand printed from Plates 1 Late and 2 were fed through the new perforating machine, but the narrow spaces between stamps made perforating difficult to accomplish without cutting into the designs. Plate 4 was produced in late 1856 or early 1857 when the introduction of perforations was anticipated, thus, it was entered from a new 6-relief transfer roll, and the spaces between stamps were enlarged to allow for perforations. Some Plate 4 sheets were issued in imperforate form (April to June 1857), while the greater portion was issued perforated beginning in July 1857, along with perforated sheets from Plates 1L and 2.

On most examples of Type Ia, Scott 19, there is no selvage and the bottom perfs cut into the design, removing the type characteristics (showing full design at bottom). The Type Ia stamps on this cover are endowed with selvage that allows the type characteristics to be visible.

VERY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL AND PRISTINE COVER BEARING THE RARE 1857 ONE-CENT TYPE Ia PERFORATED ISSUE. VERY FEW EXIST WITH A STAMP OF THIS QUALITY, AND THIS IS PROBABLY THE FINEST KNOWN BEARING THE CURL ON SHOULDER VARIETY.

Type Ia was produced by only 18 of the 20 bottom-row positions on Plate 4. Most examples on cover are either off-center, have small faults or are used with other stamps. The example offered here, a choice single on a pristine drop-rate cover, is a true condition rarity.
