EXTREMELY FINE. THE 1857 PERFORATED ONE-CENT TYPE III IS RARELY SEEN WITH CENTERING AND MARGINS EQUAL TO THIS SUPERB USED STAMP.

FINE APPEARANCE. A SCARCE UNUSED PAIR OF THE PERFORATED 1857 ONE-CENT TYPE IIIA. ESPECIALLY DESIRABLE WITH THE SELVAGE AND PART IMPRINT.
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, and should technically be classified as Type III (Scott No. 21), but the expertizers disagree.

EXTREMELY FINE. THE 1857 ONE-CENT TYPE IV IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT TYPES TO FIND IN SUCH CHOICE CONDITION. THIS STAMP IS A TRUE CONDITION RARITY.
Most examples of this issue have perforations either touching or into the recut lines. The example offered here, with intact recut lines at top and bottom, is exceedingly rare. It also has uncharacteristically deep color and impression for a Plate 1 Late printing.
