1c Blue, Ty. III (8). Plate 4, deep rich 4 color on fresh paper, large margins all around, clear breaks in outer lines at top and bottom, neat New York 1858 year-dated circular datestamp

EXTREMELY FINE 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. This stamp has a very large break at top and more than adequate break in the bottom line.
