I (5). Position 7R1E, large margins all around, bright early shade and impression, very lightly cancelled by black grid, with 1989 P.F. certificate describing stamp as "defective and repaired", however, in fluid and under UV light, we detect only a crease in the top margin and several thins, but no evidence of any repair in the true sense of the word (an observation shared by Jerome S. Wagshal in his census of this issue)

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. POSITION 7R1E -- THE SEVENTH STAMP IN THE RIGHT PANE OF PLATE 1 EARLY -- IS THE ONLY ONE OF THE 1,000 POSITIONS USED TO PRINT IMPERFORATE ONE-CENT STAMPS THAT SHOWS THE COMPLETE DESIGN (TYPE I). A GREAT RARITY.

The published census compiled by Jerome S. Wagshal contains at least 98 unduplicated records of Scott 5. There are probably no more than ten examples existing outside of the Wagshal census population. Therefore, the 1c 1851 Type I is the rarest of all United States stamps issued regularly prior to the 1868 Grills.

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 1851 ONE-CENT TYPE IB FROM PLATE ONE EARLY FROM ONE OF THE TWO POSITIONS THAT FURNISHED THE BEST TYPE IB EXAMPLES.

Type Ib was produced only as an imperforate stamp from Plate 1 Early. Six positions on Plate 1E furnished stamps qualifying as Type Ib -- Positions 3-6R and 8-9R -- distinguished by the complete design at top and nearly complete design at bottom. When first entered on the plate, these six positions (as well as 7R1E) had the complete design at top and bottom. However, unlike 7R, small portions of the bottoms were burnished away. Positions 6R and 8R had less of the bottom erased than the other Type Ib positions, and for this reason they are more desirable examples of the type.

EXTREMELY FINE. A REMARKABLE CORNER SHEET-MARGIN EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 IMPERFORATE ONE-CENT TYPE IA, ONE OF THE RARITIES FURNISHED BY PLATE FOUR.

Stamps printed from Plate 4 were issued in April, May and briefly in June 1857 before perforations were introduced. The relatively small number of imperforate Plate 4 stamps issued during this period explains the rarity and desirability of any of the imperforate stamp types produced from this plate (Ia, Ic, II, III and IIIa). The extremely rare Type Ia, showing the full design at bottom, was furnished only by 18 of the 200 subjects on Plate 4 (the remaining two bottom-row positions were sub-type Ic).

With 1992 and 2006 P.F. certificates (XF 90, SMQ $30,400.00). This remarkable stamp realized $10,000 more than 16 years ago in our 1992 Rarities sale. (Image)

Position 82L4, large margins all around, wonderful dark Plate 4 shade which is nicely complemented by red "U.S. Mail" New York carrier datestamp, clearly showing breaks at top and bottom (the defining characteristic of the type)

EXTREMELY FINE. A STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 IMPERFORATE ONE-CENT TYPE III WITH A RED CARRIER CANCELLATION.

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 both for its overall condition and also for the clear breaks which are evident at both top and bottom. It should also be considered extremely rare with a red cancellation -- most have either black cancels or occasionally a blue cancel, neither of which stands out from the design as prominently as this red carrier datestamp.

For some unknown reason, even though the 10c Type I stamps come from the bottom row of the sheet, most have the sheet margin trimmed. The stamp offered here, with its wide sheet margin and enormous margins on all sides, is a true condition rarity.

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A MASSIVE SHEET-MARGIN EXAMPLE OF THE 1855 10-CENT IMPERFORATE TYPE III.

In recent years it has become fashionable to cut down imperforate multiples into enormous singles with parts of adjoining stamps attached. This stamp is what we might call a "natural" beauty. The "New-York" circular datestamp was not normally used to cancel stamps on foreign-bound covers, so this single was probably used alone on a trans-continental rate cover. Although it does not have parts of adjoining stamps all around, its margins extend to the limit, creating a "small die proof" effect. In a collection filled with great stamps, this is one we particularly admire.
