1c Blue, Type Ic (6b). Position 91R4, F Relief and one of the most distinct positions of this scarce type on Plate 4, large margins to barely touching bottom left plume, portion of adjoining stamp showing at right, deep rich color, unobtrusive light strike of circular datestamp cancel

VERY FINE AND CHOICE USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 ONE-CENT TYPE TYPE Ic FROM THE BOTTOM ROW OF PLATE 4. POSITION 91R FURNISHES ONE OF THE TWO BEST EXAMPLES OF THIS SCARCE TYPE.

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 less distinct. Neinken states that Position 91R4, offered here, yields the best example of the rare Type Ic.
