1c Blue, Ty. Ic (6b). Position 96R4 with Curl in "C" variety, huge margins to just in including bottom sheet margin, stamp clearly shows the type characteristics, rich color, neat strike of circular datestamp, small thin spots

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE ONE-CENT 1851 TYPE Ic FROM THE BOTTOM ROW OF PLATE 4 -- ONLY TWO POSITIONS IN THE BOTTOM ROW FURNISHED THE MORE DISTINCT EXAMPLES OF TYPE Ic.

Positions 91R and 96R on Plate 4 come from the bottom row and have the full plume at bottom left and partly complete plume at right (a sub-type of Type Ia). These two are the most desirable examples of Type Ic. Other Type Ic positions on the plate are less distinct.
