FINE AND RARE EXAMPLE OF THIS ONE-CENT 1851 RARITY.

We quote from the Neinken book: "This one Type III comes from 99R2 and it is unquestionably the finest example of this type produced from any of the one cent plates...The 99R2 is a fresh entry that was short transferred both at top and bottom, over an original entry that had been erased...The reason that 99R2 is the finest example of Type III is because of its very short transfer at top and at bottom, giving us the wide breaks in these lines."

Signed and plated by Ashbrook. (Image)
