1c Blue, Ty. III, Position 99R2 (Scott 8). Large margins to just in, tied by large “Paid” grid, red “Boston Mass. Jul. 12” circular datestamp on buff cover to local street address, barely reduced at right FINE. A RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 ONE-CENT TYPE III FROM POSITION 99R2 ON COVER. We quote from the Neinken book: “This one Type III comes from 99R2 and it is unquestionably the finest example of this type produced from any of the one cent plates. As a type, its popularity ranks second only to the Type I, 7R1E…” (p. 172), “The 99R2 stamp is a fresh entry, that was short transferred both at top and bottom, over an original entry that had been erased… The reason that 99R2 is the finest example of Type III is because of its very short transfer at top and at bottom, giving us the wide breaks in these lines.” (p. 184).

1c Blue, Ty. III (8). Positions 64-66R4, C Relief, horizontal strip of three, large margins to slightly in at left and touched at top, intense dark shade and early impression (at this stage, Position 66R4 shows a small break at top), tied by “New Orleans La. Jan. 30, 1858” circular datestamp on cover to Baton Rouge La. FINE-VERY FINE TYPE III STRIP OF THREE ON COVER. THIS IS REPORTED TO BE THE ONLY KNOWN STRIP OF THREE OF THE IMPERFORATE 1851 ONE-CENT TYPE III ON COVER. A GREAT RARITY. Multiples of the 1c 1851 Type III Imperforate on cover were the subject of an article by Calvet M. Hahn in the Chronicle (November 1982). Hahn’s article correctly notes that Type III multiples can only occur in a few places on Plate 4 where two or more contiguous Type III positions were present (in this case, three C Reliefs, Positions 64-66R4). Hahn’s article attempts to document the known examples of Type III multiples, but he was apparently unaware of this cover bearing a strip of three from Positions 64-66R4. Signed and plated by Ashbrook. Scott value for off-cover strip of three is $11,000.00 Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Dec 2010, Sale 998, Lot 443 |
