1c Blue, Ty. IV (9). Horizontal strip of three, large to huge margins incl. part of six adjoining stamps at top and bottom and sheet margin at right, brilliant color and impression which is most unusual for Plate 1 Late printings, perfectly-struck "New-York Nov. 1" circular datestamps

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB AND SPECTACULAR USED STRIP OF THE 1851 IMPERFORATE ONE-CENT TYPE IV.

Although most of the attention in today's stamp market is focused on graded singles, philatelists who study and collect multiples will appreciate the extreme rarity of this used strip of the 1851 1c Type IV. Perhaps because the flanking stamps at left and right are equals to the spectacular center stamp, this strip was not cut to furnish a Jumbo single. Combining the enormous margins with brilliant color and the sharpest strikes of the New York City datestamp we have encountered, this strip offers everything to the condition-conscious collector. With high-grade singles bringing $1,500 to $3,000 or more, this strip should be worth exponentially more.
