#5, 1c Blue, Ty. I, position 7R1E, exceptionally
well margined all around, being among the very few in existence whose
design is virtually intact (just barely touching at bottom), strikingly
intense and luxuriant color in a much deeper shade than typically seen,
plus its impression is quite strong on fresh clean paper, wonderfully
postmarked with a choice light strike of a circular grid cancel in deep
blue, which does not obscure any of the important Type I design
characteristics, there is a truly minute corner crease at the very tip of
the top right corner that is so insignificant that it is not even mentioned
on the accompanying certificate, nor was it even mentioned when sold in the
remarkable Louis Grunin collection of 19th century classic stamps,
extremely fine. An incredibly handsome and choice example of one of
the rarest and most sought-after classic United States stamps. One
position, the legendary position 7R1E, provides the philatelic world with
the only full Type I design as originally intended, a characteristic no
other One Cent imperforate displays. According to the recently
published The Wagshal Census of 7R1E by Jerome S. Wagshal, there are
only 90 confirmed examples of the imperforate Type I, the vast majority of
which are used. When one eliminates those found on cover or in multiples,
there are a mere 56 single examples available to collectors. Of this
population very few are found with yhe remarkable overall eye appeal that
this exciting stamp possesses. In fact, when one takes into consideration
the large, well balanced margins of this stamp, its outstanding color and
impression, neatness of cancellation and lack of faults that affect the
vast majority of known examples, this copy ranks among the very finest
available. It is no wonder that this stamp, due to its exceptional quality,
has graced the collections of some of the most famous, and most condition
conscious, collectors of the 20th century. Wagshal Census #5-CAN-027.

#6, 1c Blue, Ty. Ia, position 94R4, an
extraordinarily handsome appearing used example of this classic rarity,
possessing several outstanding eye-appealing qualities, including four
large and incredibly well balanced margins, its color is in a striking
intense shade and its impression remarkably detailed on especially bright
white paper, only very lightly cancelled so that all of the important
design characteristics are easily seen, just a couple of small thin spots
that are not at all objectionable, otherwise extremely fine; easily one of
the most impressive appearing examples available; the extreme rarity of
Type Ia stamps is due to the fact that only 18 of the 20 positions on the
bottom row of plate 4 sheets (200 subjects) produced this distinctive type,
which shows a full design at bottom; 1994 PF certificate.(Image)
