1c 1851-56 Issue (Scott 5-9)
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
58   Image1c Blue, Ty. I (5). Position 7R1E, huge margins including portion of adjoining stamps at sides and part of top sheet margin, barely touched at lower left, rich color and unusually dark shade, two neat strikes of Boston small "Paid" grid cancel, light vertical creases at left and right mostly in side margins are barely noticeable

EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. THIS IS WITHOUT QUESTION ONE OF THE WIDEST-MARGINED EXAMPLES OF THE 1851 ONE-CENT TYPE I IN EXISTENCE. A STAMP OF REMARKABLE PROPORTIONS. THIS IS THE ONLY IMPERFORATE POSITION THAT SHOWS THE ENTIRE DESIGN OF THE STAMP.

The Type I 1c imperforate only comes from one position on the five plates used to print the imperforate stamps -- Position 7R1E, or the seventh position in the top row of the right pane of the first plate. Due to difficulties in creating the plates, all 999 other positions are other types. An explanation of the 1c types can be found in the Siegel Encyclopedia at http://siegelauctions.com/enc/pdf/1c1851.pdf .

The published census compiled by Jerome S. Wagshal and available at our website at http://siegelauctions.com/dynamic/census/5/5.pdf contains 90 unduplicated records of Scott 5. There has been one addition to the Wagshal census, and there are probably no more than ten examples existing outside of the census population. Therefore, the 1c 1851 Type I is the rarest of all United States stamps issued regularly prior to the 1868 Grills.

Because of the significance attached to the outer portions of the 1c 1851 design, rare types that have been carefully cut apart, so as not to impinge on any part of the design, are extremely desirable. The narrow spacing between stamps in the sheet and the users' indifference to the outlying ornamentation during separation are factors that contributed to the great rarity of four-margin copies. Examples of Position 7R1E (Scott 5) with large right and bottom margins, where there was very little space between it and the adjoining stamps, are true rarities. Looking at the census data, the stamp offered here has among the widest margins known. It has consistently brought at least twice Scott Catalogue value in past auction sales.

Wagshal Census No. 5-CAN-008. Ex T. Charlton Henry and Lyons. With 1999 P.F. certificate. Scott Catalogue states "Values for No. 5 are for examples with margins touching or cutting slightly into the design, or for examples with four margins and minor faults." (Image)

59   Image1c Blue, Ty. Ib (5A). Position 3R1E, enormous margins all around including part of adjoining stamp at bottom and top sheet margin, pretty "Robin's Egg" Blue shade characteristic of Plate 1 Early printings, neat strike of "New York Nov. 21" datestamp with four-bar slug

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB LARGE-MARGINED EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 1851 ONE-CENT TYPE Ib IMPERFORATE ISSUE.

Type Ib was produced only as an imperforate stamp. Six positions on Plate 1 Early furnished stamps qualifying as Type Ib -- Positions 3-6R and 8-9R -- distinguished by the complete design at top and nearly complete design at bottom. When first entered on the plate, these six positions (as well as 7R1E) had the complete design at top and bottom. However, unlike 7R, small portions of the bottoms of 3-6R and 8-9R were ironed out when the entries were made below them.

60   Image1c Blue, Ty. Ia (6). Position 94R4, ample to large margins including the all-important bottom sheet margin, rich color on bright paper, neat strike of large Boston "Paid" grid cancel

EXTREMELY FINE. A STUNNING USED EXAMPLE OF THE ONE-CENT 1851 IMPERFORATE TYPE Ia WITH A LIGHT CANCEL AND MARGINS THAT ALLOW THE FULL TYPE CHARACTERISITICS TO BE SEEN.

Stamps printed from Plate 4 were issued in April, May and briefly in June 1857 before perforations were introduced. The relatively small number of imperforate Plate 4 stamps issued during this period explains the rarity and desirability of any of the imperforate stamp types produced from this plate (Ia, Ic, II, III and IIIa). The extremely rare Type Ia, showing the full design at bottom, was furnished only by 18 of the 200 subjects on Plate 4 (the remaining two bottom-row positions were sub-type Ic).
