EXTREMELY FINE. A RARE SOUND AND WELL-CENTERED EXAMPLE OF THE ONE-CENT 1857 TYPE Ic.

This stamp is far scarcer than its catalogue or SMQ values would suggest, especially with four margins in sound condition.

With 2022 plating certificate from the One Cent Franklin Plating Archive. With 2023 P.S.E. certificate (VF-XF 85; SMQ $9,750.00). Only four used examples of Scott 19b have even been deemed worthy of P.S.E. grading by their owners. Apart from this VF-XF 85 grade, there exist single examples at 95, 80 and 70.
