One-Cent 1851 Issue – Plate One Late (Scott 7, 9)
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
100 ng 1c Blue, Ty. II-IV (7-9).> Positions 4-5R1L, <Position 4R1L is the only one on Plate 1L which was not recut,> thus this pair is a combination of Types II and IV, unused (no gum), margins mostly clear to ample with a large <top sheet margin> showing t1c Blue, Ty. II-IV (7-9). Positions 4-5R1L, Position 4R1L is the only one on Plate 1L which was not recut, thus this pair is a combination of Types II and IV, unused (no gum), margins mostly clear to ample with a large top sheet margin showing the characteristic burr above Position 4R, the Type IV is recut at bottom, negligible small thin spots

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE UNUSED MULTIPLE FROM THE TOP ROW OF PLATE 1 LATE, CONTAINING POSITION 4R1L, THE ONLY TYPE II ON THE REWORKED PLATE.

The two positions in this pair, 4R and 5R, were Type Ib positions on Plate 1 Early. When Plate 1 was reworked by re-entering subjects from the transfer roll and strengthening the tops and bottoms of 199 of the 200 positions, only 4R1L was left without any form of recut. 5R was recut, and impressions are classified as Type IV. 4R became Type II, because some of the design at the bottom was burnished away. However, both 4R and 5R on Plate 1 Late still show the compete design at top, and both have strong double transfers from re-entries made when the plate was reworked.

Examples of 4R1L are very scarce, and unused copies are rare. This unused multiple containing 4R1L is an important rarity for the 1851 Issue specialist. A review of our auction records with Power Search produced a small number of used examples, but not one unused 4R1L turned up. There must be others outside the present scope of our database, but clearly this is an extremely rare item.

IV (9). Position 10R1L, original gum, huge top right corner sheet margins, large bottom margin showing part of adjoining stamp, just barely in along left ornaments, dark shade, bright and fresh paper, light wrinkle in selvage not mentioned on certificate

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. AN OUTSTANDING ORIGINAL-GUM CORNER SHEET-MARGIN EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 ONE-CENT IMPERFORATE TYPE IV FROM POSITION 10R ON PLATE 1 LATE.

Position 10R on Plate 1 Early is listed in the Scott U.S. Specialized Catalogue under No. 7 as "Design complete at top (10R1E only)" with a value of $2,000.00 used (vs. $170.00 for the usual No. 7) and unpriced in unused condition. The stamp offered here is 10R on Plate 1 Late after recutting. This position also has the complete design at top, but the Scott Catalogue does not list it in recut state. To fully appreciate 10R1L's significance, it is worth examining the unusual character of the top row of the right pane from Plate 1.

Position 10R, along with 3R to 9R, was entered from the T Relief in its first condition. This transfer roll was abandoned after the first ten entries were made in Positions 1-10R. Positions 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9R on Plate 1E are the Type Ib positions, showing the complete design at top and a large portion of the plumes at bottom (Scott 5A). Of course, Position 7R1E is the rare and valuable Type I, with a nearly complete design at top and bottom (Scott 5). The plumes on 10R were burnished away, turning it into a Type II (Scott 7), but it still retains its complete design at top, which distinguishes it from most other Type II positions (the top row of Plate 4 also has complete designs at top).

When Plate 1 was re-worked, Position 10R was recut twice at bottom. The outer recut line is unusually long, starting under the "N" of "CENT" and extending all the way to "O" of "ONE." Neinken notes that no other position on the plate shows this line cut so far to the left.

Examples of 10R from Plate 1 Early have the benefit of the Scott listing. However, stamps from 10R on Plate 1 Late deserve as much respect. It is a remarkable 1c 1851 plate variety, and this original-gum copy with corner sheet margins is one of the most outstanding examples extant.
