1c Blue, Ty. IIIa (Scott 22). Plate 4, E Relief, detailed impression, neat “New-York Sep. 30” circular datestamp, unusually choice centering with wide and balanced margins EXTREMELY FINE GEM. ONE OF THE FINEST USED EXAMPLES OF THE PERFORATED 1857 ONE-CENT TYPE IIIa WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED. Plate 4 perforated stamps seldom have wide margins all around, due to the narrow spacing between the stamps and the difficulty Toppan Carpenter & Co. experienced when perforating was introduced into the process in 1857. The perforations on this stamp are well clear on all four sides, which is quite unusual for the issue. Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Mar 2011, Sale 1006, Lot 1188 |
