3402 og Image1c Blue, Ty. IV, Triple Transfer, One Inverted (23 var). Position 81L1L, part disturbed original gum, much better impression than usual and wide left margin shows the lines of the inverted transfer (a vestige of the first entries made on Plate 1 Early), trivial edge toning at right and tiny piece of top right margin reattached, otherwise Fine, an incalculably rare stamp, the Triple Transfer/One Inverted stamps from Plate 1 Late are very scarce with perforations (Scott 23 vs. Scott 9) -- this is one of the few original-gum examples our firm has sold in 80+ years -- because of condition problems, it will be affordable to almost all 1c 1851-57 specialists, who will no doubt appreciate its phenomenal rarity (Image)

3405   Image1c Blue, Ty. III, Position 99R2 (21). Rich color, neat strike of circular datestamp, few short perfs at right

FINE CENTERING. A RARE EXAMPLE OF THE PERFORATED ONE-CENT 1857 ISSUE FROM POSITION 99R2.

Plate 2 was made in late 1855, and consists of 198 stamps that are Type II, one position that is Type III (99R2) and one that is Type IIIA (100R2).

Guide dots were used to accurately lay out the subjects on the plate. Positions 79 and 89 were transferred perfectly using their guide dots. However, the guide dot to the south-east of Position 88R2, which was used to align the single B Relief for Position 99R2, was placed far out of line, resulting in the bottom part of the A Relief being transferred into the bottom part of Position 89 (and in the margin below this position) by mistake. When the fresh entry was made in Position 99R a full transfer of the design was not possible without running into the error in Position 89R. The position was therefore short transferred at top, and apparently also at bottom, creating the finest example of Type III found on any plate (see pp. 183-184 of Neinken book).

Plate 2 stamps were issued imperforate from December 1855 through June 1857. Beginning in July 1857 stamps from Plates 1 Late, 2 and 4 were issued with perforations, and Plates 2 and 4 continued to produce stamps through late 1857. Plate 2 stamps are rarer perforated than in imperforate form; conversely, Plate 4 stamps are rarer imperforate than in perforated form. Perforated 99R2 stamps are of extreme rarity.

Our census, which incorporates the records of noted student Jerome S. Wagshal, the Philatelic Foundation, the Levi records and our own work, is available at our website at http://www.siegelauctions.com/dynamic/census/21/21.pdf . Only one unused example is known, in a block. Twelve used singles are recorded, as are three on covers and two in strips, for a total of 18 known in any form. Virtually all have faults or are very off-center -- only three off-cover singles and one on cover are confirmed as sound and not all have decent centering.

3406   Image1c Blue, Ty. Ia (19). Bottom row F Relief position, bold New York circular datestamp, centered to top with wide margin at bottom showing the full plumes that are the defining characteristics of this rare type, small corner creases at right top and bottom

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A BEAUTIFUL USED EXAMPLE OF THE PERFORATED 1857 ONE-CENT TYPE Ia, WHICH CLEARLY SHOWS THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TYPE.

Type Ia, imperforate and perforated, only comes from 18 positions in the bottom rows of the right and left panes of Plate 4. Due to difficulties in perforating sheets from Plate 4, many examples of Type Ia have perforations cutting into the design at bottom, which destroys the defining characteristic of the type. The example offered here, showing the full bottom design, is very rare.

With 1966 P.F. certificate for cover from which this stamp was removed (Image)

Positions 4-5R4, horizontal pair, wide-spaced horizontal perforations, rich color, neat circular datestamps, left stamp small thin spot, right stamp light corner crease at top right, few perf separations, still Fine, the exceptions to the normal cut-into condition of top-row and bottom-row Plate 4 stamps are those with wide-spaced perforations, the Scott Catalogue footnote after No. 19 (Ty. Ia) describes this characteristic, but it is not noted after No. 20 from Plate 4, ex Wagshal (Image)

3409   Image1c Blue, Ty. III (21). Position 80L4 with interpane margin and centerline at right, blind perfs between selvage and stamp, gorgeous centering, rich color nicely complemented by blue circular datestamp

EXTREMELY FINE. A STUNNING USED INTERPANE 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.

Ex Wagshal. With 2011 P.F. certificate (Image)
