1c Blue, Ty. Ia (19). Position 93R4, deep rich color and proof-like impression on bright paper, light cancel leaves design almost completely visible, perfs just barely into plumes at bottom

VERY FINE AND CHOICE USED EXAMPLE OF THE PERFORATED 1857 ONE-CENT TYPE Ia, WHICH CLEARLY SHOWS THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TYPE.

Type Ia was produced by only 18 of the 20 bottom-row positions on Plate 4. Although Plate 4 was designed with sufficient space to accommodate perforations, the height of the top row and bottom row positions resulted in the perforations often cutting into the design at either top or bottom. This stamp shows nearly complete bottom plumes.

With 1981 and 1998 P.F. certificates
