1c Blue, Ty. Ia (19). Plate 4, original gum, h.r., deep rich color, centered to bottom but most of the type defining bottom plumes are present, faults including reperfed at bottom and short perfs at left

FINE APPEARING AND RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 PERFORATED ONE-CENT TYPE Ia.

Type Ia was produced by only 18 of the 20 bottom-row positions on Plate 4. Although Plate 4 was designed with sufficient space to accommodate perforations, the height of the top row and bottom row positions resulted in the perforations often cutting into the design at either top or bottom.

Small backstamp. Scott value $42,500.00
