1c Blue, Ty. Ia (6). Mostly ample to large margins all around, well clear at bottom showing complete plumes (the important major aspect of this type and most desirable when shown completely), deep rich Plate 4 color, dark blue circular datestamp

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. AN EXCEPTIONALLY ATTRACTIVE AND DESIRABLE EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 1851 ONE-CENT TYPE IA.

The 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).
