1c Blue, Ty. III (8). Plate 4, deep rich color on bright paper, detailed impression, large margins all around which show the clear breaks in outer lines at top and bottom, light town cancel

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A BEAUTIFUL USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 IMPERFORATE ONE-CENT TYPE III FROM PLATE FOUR.

Type III is defined as having 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) have small breaks in at least one line.

With 2015 P.S.E. certificate (XF 90; SMQ $6,000.00)
