1857, 1¢ blue, type IV (23), remarkably well centered for this notoriously difficult type showing the curved frame lines recut once at top and twice at bottom, exceptionally strong color and impression contrasted by crisp white paper and topped off by a neatly struck red carrier cancel. Extremely Fine.
