FINE. A SCARCE SOUND UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE PERFORATED 1857 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.

FINE. A SCARCE UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE PERFORATED 1857 ONE-CENT TYPE III. ESPECIALLY DESIRABLE WITH THE SELVAGE.

FINE APPEARANCE. A SCARCE UNUSED COMBINATION PAIR OF THE PERFORATED 1857 ONE-CENT TYPE III AND IIIA. ESPECIALLY DESIRABLE WITH THE SELVAGE AND PART IMPRINT.
The accompanying 1980 P.F. certificate states the plate positions, yet identifies both stamps as Type IIIa (Scott 22). The Neinken book states that the top position is Type III and is not a transitional position. It has a small but clear break at bottom, and a wide break at top. The top stamp in this pair should be classified as Ty. III.
