Sale 984, Lot 128, 1c 1857-60 Issue (Scott 18-24)1c Blue, Ty. IV (23). Horizontal pair, deep rich color, neat circular datestamps, due to alignment problems when laying out the plate (left stamp appears "higher" than the right), the left stamp is slightly in at top and in Fine condition, whereas its neighbor to the right is essentially perfectly centered and Extremely Fine, it would be a difficult task to equal or better the right stamp for centering on this notoriously tight-margined 1c issue
