40 ng Image1c Blue, Ty. Ia (19). Position 93L4 with bottom sheet selvage, unused (small part of original gum), rich color, showing complete ornaments at bottom (the most important characteristic of the type)

VERY FINE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 PERFORATED ONE-CENT TYPE Ia.

Type Ia was produced by only 18 of the 20 bottom-row positions on Plate 4. Although Plate 4 was designed with sufficient space to accommodate perforations, the height of the top row and bottom row positions resulted in the perforations often cutting into the design at either top or bottom. For this reason, stamps from the bottom row of Plate 4 with perforations clear of the design are especially desirable, since the characteristics of the type are complete (Type Ia) or nearly complete (Type Ic) at bottom. The stamp offered here is highly desirable since it shows all the type characteristics in the selvage.

Ex Sheriff as a vertical pair with Type Ic. With 2001 P.F. certificate. Scott Retail as original gum $42,500.00. Scott Retail as no gum (Image)

VERY FINE AND CHOICE USED EXAMPLE OF THE PERFORATED 1857 ONE-CENT TYPE Ia, WHICH CLEARLY SHOWS THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TYPE.

Type Ia was produced by only 18 of the 20 bottom-row positions on Plate 4. Although Plate 4 was designed with sufficient space to accommodate perforations, the height of the top row and bottom row positions resulted in the perforations often cutting into the design at either top or bottom. This stamp shows nearly complete bottom plumes.

44 ngbl Image1c Blue, Ty. II (20). Plate 12, A/B Reliefs from the top two rows of the plate, block of four, regummed, beautiful bright pastel shade, extraordinarily well-centered, small faint soiling specks on bottom left stamp (not mentioned on certificate)

VERY FINE-EXTREMELY FINE. A MAGNIFICENT QUALITY UNUSED BLOCK OF THE ONE-CENT 1857 ISSUE FROM PLATE TWELVE.

The Neinken book states "A block of 4 or larger, all the stamps Type II, which come from the top and second row of the plate [twelve], is a most desirable item in any collection."

This block of four was part of a block of six sold in the March 15-16, 1989 Christie's sale of the Walter C. Klein collection, where it was described as unused without gum. The Philatelic Foundation issued certificate 207106 (May 1, 1989) to Andrew Levitt as "Unused No Gum." Subsequently, the block was broken, and this block of four was sold to Mr. Hall by another dealer (not Mr. Levitt) with a photocopy of the PFC 207160 with the words "Unused OG" deceptively substituted in the copy. This is a cautionary tale and good reason to use The Philatelic Foundation's searchable database to verify photocopies of certificates.

46 og Image1c Blue, Ty. III (21). Position 63R4, original gum, lightly hinged, rich color with a small area of slightly dry printing at top of vignette, fresh and bright paper

VERY FINE. A RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE PERFORATED 1857 ONE-CENT TYPE III FROM PLATE FOUR. VERY FEW EXIST IN ANY TYPE OF ACCEPTABLE ORIGINAL-GUM CONDITION. THIS STAMP IS A WONDERFUL CONDITION RARITY.

This stamp was printed from Plate 4, which originally produced imperforate stamps and was used only briefly after the introduction of perforations in 1857 before being discontinued. Original-gum examples of stamps from Plate 4 are extremely scarce.

This stamp was the top left position in the vertical block of six from the Grunin and Klein collections, which comprised two Type III and four Type IIIa stamps. After the 1988 Klein sale held by Christie's, the block was divided into two singles and a block of four (offered as lot 47 in this sale).

Ex Grunin and Klein. With copy of 1989 P.F. certificate for block of six and 1990 P.S.E. certificate as single (Image)

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A REMARKABLE AND EXTREMELY RARE BLOCK OF THE 1857 ONE-CENT PERFORATED ISSUE FROM PLATE FOUR, COMBINING TYPES III AND IIIa.

This block was printed from Plate 4, which originally produced imperforate stamps and was used only briefly after the introduction of perforations in 1857 before being discontinued. Original-gum examples of stamps from Plate 4 are extremely scarce.

This was part of the vertical block of six in the Grunin and Klein collections. After the 1988 Klein sale it was divided into this block and two singles (Positions 63R, offered in lot 46 of this sale, and 64R).

Ex Grunin and Klein. With 1991 P.F. certificate as sound. The Scott U.S. Specialized Catalogue lists combination blocks from Plate 4, but does not value them. The Type III-IIIa combination pair and Type IIIa pair have a combined value of $27,750.00 (Image)
