FINE. A HANDSOME SOUND USED EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 1857 ONE-CENT PERFORATED TYPE Ia.

Type Ia, imperforate and perforated, only comes from 18 positions in the bottom rows of the right and left panes of Plate 4. Due to difficulties in perforating sheets from Plate 4, many examples of Type Ia have perforations cutting into the design at bottom. This example clearly shows the type characteristics.
