VERY FINE AND CHOICE LIGHTLY CANCELLED EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 ONE-CENT PERFORATED TYPE III, CLEARLY SHOWING THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TYPE.

Due to narrow spacing on the plate, examples of this type often have the perforations cutting into the outer lines at either top or bottom or both. The example offered here clearly presents the characteristics of the type, with broken lines at both top and bottom.

With 1998 and 2003 P.F. certificates
