VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXTREMELY RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 ONE-CENT TYPE Ia SHOWING THE COMPLETE DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS.
The rare Type Ia, showing the full design at bottom and truncated design at top, was furnished only by 18 of the 200 subjects on Plate 4 (the remaining two bottom-row positions were sub-type Ic). We have only offered approximately ten original-gum singles and a pair as part of a block of four in all of our Rarities sales and during the past 20 years of auctions. Of these, only the block and four singles, including the one offered here, have margins completely clear of the design.

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A STUNNING AND SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE IMPERFORATE ONE-CENT TYPE III.
Type III is defined by breaks in the outer lines at both top and bottom. Many Type III stamps have breaks that were created or enlarged by plate wear. Since the wear occurred over a period of time, the majority of stamps of this type (both unused and used) has small breaks in at least one line. This stamp is notable for its wide breaks at both top and bottom.
With 1987 P.F. and 2006 P.S.E. certificates (XF-Superb 95; SMQ $8,250.00). (Image)
