1c 1851 Issue, Ty. I (Scott 5)
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
1180   Image1c Blue, Ty. I (5). Position 7R1E showing clear stitch watermark, large top and full right margins showing complete design, touched at left to slightly cut in at lower and bottom left, bottom right plume intact, bright early shade and impression, bold small Boston "Paid" cancel struck upside down, few faults including filled thin and small repaired scissors-cut at bottom left, P.F. certificate also mentions a hinge stain at top which is no longer evident

FINE APPEARANCE. POSITION 7R1E -- THE SEVENTH STAMP IN THE RIGHT PANE OF PLATE 1 EARLY -- IS THE ONLY ONE OF THE 1,000 POSITIONS USED TO PRINT IMPERFORATE ONE-CENT STAMPS THAT SHOWS THE COMPLETE DESIGN (TYPE I). A GREAT RARITY.

The published census compiled by Jerome S. Wagshal contains at least 98 unduplicated records of Scott 5. There are probably no more than ten examples existing outside of the Wagshal census population. Therefore, the 1c 1851 Type I is the rarest of all United States stamps issued regularly prior to the 1868 Grills.
