FRESH AND FINE EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 ONE-CENT TYPE Ia IMPERFORATE.
Stamps printed from Plate 4 were issued in April, May and briefly in June 1857 before perforations were introduced. The relatively small number of imperforate Plate 4 stamps issued during this period explains the rarity and desirability of any of the imperforate stamp types produced from this plate (Ia, Ic, II, III and IIIa). The extremely rare Type Ia, showing the full design at bottom, was furnished only by 18 of the 200 subjects on Plate 4 (the remaining two bottom-row positions were sub-type Ic).
With 1971 A.P.S. and 2014 P.S.E. certificates.




















FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 1856 5-CENT RED BROWN.
With 2019 P.F. certificate. Scott value $30,000.00 as original gum and $11,000.00 as no gum
