Sale 946, Lot 178, 1851-56 Issue (Scott 5-17)1c Blue, Ty. II (7). Position 81R2, enormous margins all around including portions of adjoining stamps above and below and sheet margin at left, magnificent intense color and clear impression, cancelled by ms. town postmark

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A STRIKING EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 ONE-CENT TYPE II IMPERFORATE.

With 2007 P.F. certificate (XF-Superb 95; SMQ $1,100.00 with handstamp cancel), given its huge margins we are surprised this only graded 95 -- it deserves at least the "J" Jumbo appellation.
