1c Blue, Ty. Ib (5A). Position 4R1E, full margins to just clear at top, radiant color, neat manuscript cancel

VERY FINE USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 ONE-CENT TYPE Ib FROM PLATE ONE EARLY.

Type Ib was produced only as an imperforate stamp from Plate 1 Early. Six positions on Plate 1E furnished stamps qualifying as Type Ib -- Positions 3-6R and 8-9R -- distinguished by the complete design at top and nearly complete design at bottom. When first entered on the plate, these six positions (as well as 7R1E) had the complete design at top and bottom. However, unlike 7R, small portions of the bottoms were ironed out when the entries were made below them.

Ex Sheriff as a pair. With 1977, 1986 and 2018 P.F. certificates, the first two as a pair.
