1c Blue, Ty. Ia (19). Position 99L4, deep rich color and proof-like impression on bright paper, choice centering for this difficult issue with enough height to clearly show the type characteristics, unobtrusive strike of circular datestamp, small corner crease at top left, small sealed tear at bottom

VERY FINE APPEARING EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 ONE-CENT TYPE IA. THIS STAMP SHOULD BE CONSIDERED DESIRABLE, BECAUSE THE TYPE CHARACTERISTICS ARE INTACT.

Many completely sound copies of Scott 19 do not show the type characteristics as clearly as the example offered here, which has very minor faults.

With 2006 P.F. certificate
