EXTREMELY FINE GEM. AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING USED EXAMPLE OF THE ONE-CENT TYPE IV FROM POSITION 7R1L. THIS POSITION IN THE EARLY STATE OF THE PLATE IS THE ONLY SUBJECT ON ANY ONE-CENT PLATE TO PRODUCE THE IMPERFORATE TYPE I, SCOTT 5. THIS IS ONE OF THE FINEST EXAMPLES IN EXISTENCE.
The top row of Plate 1 Late was, with the exception of Position 4R1L, recut and transformed into Type IV's. However, the top row right pane positions still retained many of their fascinating features from Plate 1 Early. Among these is Position 7R, which on the early state of the plate produced the only imperforate Type I, Scott No. 5. On Plate 1 Late, most of 7R's unique characteristics are still present: the design is complete at top and still shows the distinctive double transfer at top right, it is almost complete at bottom with only a small part of the balls erased, and the plumes are essentially intact, especially on early printings. The example offered here is a later impression, but it still shows the plumes at bottom. (Image)
