1c Blue, Ty. Ic (6b). Position 91R4, F Relief, bottom row of Plate 4, large margins to in, deep rich color, cancelled by lightly struck circular datestamp

VERY FINE USED EXAMPLE OF THE ONE-CENT 1851 TYPE Ic FROM THE BOTTOM ROW.

Positions 91R and 96R on Plate 4 come from F Reliefs in 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.

With 1989 P.F. certificate.
