1c Blue, Laid Paper (Scott 63c). Clear vertical laid lines, deep rich color, unobtrusive cancel, wide margins VERY FINE AND CHOICE USED EXAMPLE OF THE ONE-CENT 1861 ISSUE ON VERTICALLY LAID PAPER. ONE OF THE GREAT RARITIES OF THE ISSUE. Don Evans notes in his 1c book (p. 37) that this is known to have been printed on both horizontally and vertically laid paper. He notes that examples are somewhat difficult to identify by casual observation. He also notes that horizontally laid paper seems to be scarcer than vertically laid (he was aware of only two horizontal), but our experience and an examination of the records of the Philatelic Foundation indicate that both are equally scarce. They are also usually seen with faults. With 1988 P.F. certificate. Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Dec 2013, Sale 1062, Lot 177 |
