 1c Blue, Ty. Ia (19). Pos.
94R4, well-centered for this type, shows most of bottom ornaments, fresh
color on bright paper, neat strike of cds cancel leaves bottom of stamp
unobscured, single short perf at leftVERY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE
OF THE RARE PERFORATED TYPE IA WITH VIRTUALLY COMPLETE TYPE IA
CHARACTERISTICS. The Type Ia stamps were produced from 18 positions in
the bottom row of plate 4. The most distinctive feature of Plate 4 is that
the top row was entered with the designs complete at top (Type II), and the
bottom row was entered with designs complete or nearly complete at bottom
(Types Ia and Ic). Although the plate layout provided sufficient space for
perforations, the height of the top-row and bottom-row designs was larger
than others in the sheet, which resulted in perforations cutting into
either the top or bottom rows, depending on which direction the sheet was
fed into the perforator. Type Ia and Ic stamps from the bottom row are
almost always cut into at bottom, an unfortunate situation for collectors
because the bottom part of the design is what makes Type Ia and Ic stamps
desirable. This well-centered example, showing most of the Type Ia
design characteristics, should be considered a condition rarity. (Image) |
