EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SPECTACULAR LIGHTLY CANCELLED EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 ONE-CENT IMPERFORATE TYPE IIIa FROM PLATE 4.

Type IIIa is defined as having a break in outer lines at either top or bottom. The stamp offered here, with a wide break at top and large margins is an outstanding example of the type.
