Lot	Sym.	Lot Description
2226		1c Blue, Ty. Ib (5A). Position 6R1E, large margins to in at bottom incl. sheet margin at top, neat strike of grid and part of circular datestamp cancel, inconsequential corner crease at top right entirely in margin A FINE EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 ONE-CENT TYPE IB FROM PLATE ONE EARLY -- POSITION 6R1E IS ONE OF THE TWO POSITIONS THAT FURNISHED THE BEST TYPE IB EXAMPLES. Type Ib was produced only as an imperforate stamp from Plate 1 Early. Six positions on Plate 1E furnished stamps qualifying as Type Ib -- Positions 3-6R and 8-9R -- distinguished by the complete design at top and nearly complete design at bottom. When first entered on the plate, these six positions (as well as 7R1E) had the complete design at top and bottom. However, unlike 7R, small portions of the bottoms were burnished away. Positions 6R and 8R had less of the bottom erased than the other Type Ib positions, and for this reason they are more desirable examples of the type.
