1c Blue, Ty. Ic (6b). Position 96R4, huge margins to clear including part of bottom sheet margin and also part of adjoining stamps at left and top, deep rich color, face-free strike of circular datestamp leaves the type characteristics clearly visible

EXTREMELY FINE USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 ONE-CENT TYPE TYPE Ic FROM THE BOTTOM ROW OF PLATE 4. ONE OF THE TWO BEST POSITIONS OF THIS RARE SUB-TYPE OF TYPE Ia.

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 come from positions above the bottom row and are less distinct.

With 1984 P.F. certificate.
