1861, 1¢ blue, type I (18), wonderfully centered which allows for the type characteristics at both top and bottom to be plainly visible, lovely and fresh powdery blue color. O.g. Fully Extremely Fine for the issue.

A REMARKABLE MINT EXAMPLE OF THE PERFORATED 1¢ TYPE I.

Expertization: 1989 P.F. Certificate for a block of 4.

Due to the extraordinarily close spacing of the 1¢ 1857 issues, it is a rare event indeed that a single stamp will be able to exhibit such clear type characteristics as we see in the present example.
