1c Blue, Ty. III (8). Plate 4, large margins to huge at bottom, deep rich color, clear breaks at both top and bottom, neat grid cancel

EXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL USED EXAMPLE OF THE IMPERFORATE ONE-CENT TYPE III FROM PLATE FOUR.

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.

With 1985 P.F. and 2006 P.S.E. certificates (XF 90; SMQ $6,600.00)
