Sale 1310, Lot 111, 1857-60 Issue (Scott 18-39)

1c Blue, Ty. III (21). Plate 4, unusually choice centering with wide margins, intact perforations at top, deep rich color, unobtrusive strikes of circular datestamp

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 ONE-CENT TYPE III, GRADED XF-SUPERB 95 BY P.S.E.

Due to the narrow vertical spacing on this plate, stamps are most typically found with the perforations impinging on a portion of the design. The example offered here is centered so that the breaks in both the bottom and top lines are clearly visible.

Ex Merlin and from our 2004 Rarities sale (as a pair). With 2011 P.S.E. certificate (XF-Superb 95). This is the highest grade awarded.
