 1c Blue, Ty. II-IIIa-IIIa (7-8A-8A). Positions 16-18R1E, horizontal strip of three, Type IIIa at center with a wide break in outer line, another Type IIIa at right with a small break, Type II at left
(early impression), mostly large to huge margins showing parts of adjoining stamps above, including the plumes and balls of Position 7R1E at center, beautiful rich color in Plate 1 Early shadeVERY FINE. A WONDERFUL PLATE ONE EARLY
MULTIPLE WITH A SCARCE COMBINATION OF TYPES AND CAPTURING THE COVETED BALLS OF POSITION 7R1E. The reason that Position 7R1E retained its Type I elements at the bottom is because 17R1E was short transferred at the top, thus reducing the "ironing
out" effect on 7R1E. If one cannot afford an example of Scott 5, Position 7R1E, this provides an alternative, after all, having the balls of 7R1E is nearly as important as having the whole stamp. (Image) Search for comparables at SiegelAuctions.com |
