1c Blue, Ty. IV (9). Position 30L1L (see note below), recut once at top, enormous margins all around including right interpane margin and parts of adjoining stamps on other sides, lightly cancelled by town circular datestamp, attractive color

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 ONE-CENT TYPE IV WITH THE HIGHLY-COVETED P.S.E. GRADE OF GEM 100.

Apart from the extraordinary Gem 100 quality of this stamp, it is also of particular interest to specialists in the 1c 1851 Issue. Position 30L on Plate 1 Late is one of six positions that show the Scott-listed "bottom frameline broken" variety in later impressions from the worn plate. The bottom line on this stamp is very weak and shows a tiny break just under the "C" of "Cent" that possibly qualifies it as the variety (Scott value $250.00).

With 2015 P.S.E. certificate (Gem 100; SMQ $2,400.00)
