o
1851, 1¢ blue, type I (5), position 7R1E, large margins including part sheet margin at top, plumes and balls touched but essentially intact, deep rich color and strong impression, bold strike of circular grid cancellation, small thin spots. Very Fine appearance.
Scott $80,000
A HIGHLY DESIRABLE EXAMPLE OF THE 1¢ 1851 TYPE I THAT CLEARLY SHOWS THE TYPE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE COMPLETE DESIGN.
Expertization: 2006 P.F. Certificate.
The published census compiled by Jerome S. Wagshal contains 90 unduplicated records of Scott 5. This is the first addition to the Wagshal census since its publication. The stamp offered here should be considered extremely desirable because the type characteristics are clearly visible. To note, there are no fully sound, four-margined examples of type I recorded off-cover. Type I is the rarest type because it is found in only one position out of the 1,000 used to print the 1851 imperforate 1¢ stamps. Its desirability derives from being the only position to show the full design.
Wagshall Census 5-CAN-091 (recently discovered).
