1c Blue, Ty. Ia (19). Position 99L4, deep rich color on bright paper, lightly cancelled (appears unused at a glance)

VERY FINE AND CHOICE EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 PERFORATED ONE-CENT TYPE Ia.

Type Ia was produced by only 18 of the 20 bottom-row positions on Plate 4. Although Plate 4 was designed with sufficient space to accommodate perforations, the height of the top row and bottom row positions resulted in the perforations often cutting into the design at either top or bottom. This is a very choice sound example.
