Sale 1227, Lot 2142, 1c 1851-56 Issue (Scott 5A-9)1c Blue, Ty. Ic (6b). Position 96R4 with stitch watermark, large margins to barely touching the plume at upper left, bottom margin is particularly large which nicely shows the type characteristics, cork cancel

VERY FINE. A RARE ONE-CENT 1851 TYPE Ic FROM THE BOTTOM ROW OF PLATE 4 -- ONLY TWO POSITIONS IN THE BOTTOM ROW FURNISHED THE MORE DISTINCT EXAMPLES OF TYPE Ic.

Positions 91R and 96R on Plate 4 come from the bottom row and have the full plume at bottom left and partly complete plume at right (a sub-type of Type Ia). These two are the most desirable examples of Type Ic. Other Type Ic positions on the plate are interior positions and are less distinct.

With 2002 P.F. certificate
