Sale 1289, Lot 543, 1851-56 Issue1c Blue, Ty. II (7). Bottom row of Plate 2 with 14mm sheet margin, part original gum which covers approximately half the back, enormous margins other three sides with portions of adjoining stamps, rich color and detailed impression, horizontal crease in sheet margin only, far from the design

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB UNUSED SHEET-MARGIN EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 ONE-CENT TYPE II, GRADED GEM 100 BY P.S.E.

As the gaps between positions visible on this remarkable single demonstrate, the spacing between stamps left very little room for separation. Most examples have margins either just clear or touching, or into the design. The relative paucity of multiples in sound condition also contributes to its scarcity with such large margins.

With 2023 P.S.E. certificate (POG, Gem 100; SMQ $18,000.00 for original gum and $2,750.00 for no gum). Only one unused stamp grades higher. Scott value as original gum.
