1c Blue, Ty. IV (9). Positions 38-40L1L, horizontal strip of three, large to huge margins including parts of six adjoining stamps at top and bottom and straddle-pane margin at right, brilliant color and impression which is most unusual for Plate 1 Late printings, perfectly-struck "New-York Nov. 1" circular datestampsEXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB AND SPECTACULAR USED STRIP OF THE 1851 IMPERFORATE ONE-CENT TYPE IV.
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.
