1c Blue, Ty. Ib-II (5A-7). Positions 9-10R1E, horizontal combination pair with substantial portion of top right corner sheet margins helping to compensate for cut-into bottom, lovely Plate One Early shade and impression, bold grid cancels

A RARE COMBINATION PAIR OF THE ONE-CENT 1851 FROM PLATE ONE EARLY, INCLUDING TYPE Ib, SCOTT 5A, AND THE "DESIGN COMPLETE AT TOP" VARIETY OF TYPE II, POSITION 10R1E.

The Type Ib from Position 9R1E has a Scott value of $8,500.00. The rare Type II from Position 10R1E, which has the complete design at top, has a Scott value of $2,000.00 as a used single (vs. $170.00 for a normal Scott 7). The combination Type Ib-II pair is valued at $13,000.00, which presumably does not include the premium for 10R1E.

With 2006 A.P.S. certificate.
