1c Blue, Ty. Ia (6). Position 92R4, large margins to clear and amply showing the characteristics of the type, rich color, two neat penstroke cancels leave design clearly visible, light horizontal crease at top, tiny surface scuff at top left

VERY FINE APPEARING EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 ONE-CENT TYPE IA IMPERFORATE.

The extremely rare Type Ia, showing the full design at bottom, was furnished only by 18 of the 200 subjects on Plate 4 (the remaining two bottom-row positions were sub-type Ic).

With 2007 P.F. certificate. Scott Retail with non-pen cancel $12,500.00. Considering the fact that a light pen cancel leaves the design characteristics unmasked, the reduced Scott value for a pen-cancelled No. 6 seems unjustified.
