A European Connoisseur's Collection of U.S. Classic Issues continued...

1c 1851-56 Issue, cont. (Scott 8A-9)
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
2067 og Image1c Blue, Ty. IIIa (8A). Plate 4, original gum, large margins all around, beautiful dark Plate 4 color, wide break in top outer line, fresh

EXTREMELY FINE. THIS SUPERB STAMP IS THE FIRST ORIGINAL-GUM, PREVIOUSLY-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 1851 ONE-CENT TYPE IIIa TO BE GRADED EXTREMELY FINE 90 BY P.S.E., AND IT IS VERY LIKELY TO REMAIN AT THE TOP OF THE P.S.E. POPULATION REPORT FOR A LONG TIME.

Type IIIa is defined as having a break in the outer line at either top or bottom. The stamp offered here, with huge margins, is an outstanding example of the type, as it clearly shows the bottom line complete and the top line with a wide break. The P.S.E. Population Report shows nothing in OG condition above 50, except for this new addition at XF 90. In the NG/RG/D-POG category there are stamps graded 85 and 95, but we have no idea what the gum condition is for those stamps. Therefore, after years of grading, this OGph XF 90 stamp lands at the top of the Population Report, and we cannot imagine any stamp displacing it, or even matching it, unless something unexpected turns up.

With 2015 P.S.E. certificate (OGph XF 90; SMQ $15,000.00, but it cannot be based on any actual transaction). (Image)

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 ONE-CENT TYPE IV WITH THE HIGHLY-COVETED P.S.E. GRADE OF GEM 100.

Apart from the extraordinary Gem 100 quality of this stamp, it is also of particular interest to specialists in the 1c 1851 Issue. Position 30L on Plate 1 Late is one of six positions that show the Scott-listed "bottom frameline broken" variety in later impressions from the worn plate. The bottom line on this stamp is very weak and shows a tiny break just under the "C" of "Cent" that possibly qualifies it as the variety (Scott value $250.00).
