The Wagshal Collection Part 4: Perforated One-Cent 1857-60 Issue continued...

**Plate Eleven (Triple Transfers, Scott 22)**
Lot	Sym.	Lot Description
1437A		1c Blue, Ty. IIIa, Triple Transfer (22 var). Plate 11, B Relief from an undetermined position, shows erased entry at bottom including well-defined lines of bottom right plume about 2mm to the left of the same plume on the primary entry, also shows traces of another transfer at top (lines in "U.S." and in lower label), original gum, lightly hinged, intense shade and impression FINE. AN OUTSTANDING 1857 ONE-CENT TRANSFER VARIETY FROM PLATE ELEVEN. NEINKEN BELIEVED THIS WAS A DOUBLE TRANSFER, BUT WAGSHAL ARGUED STRONGLY THAT THE GROSSLY SHIFTED TRANSFER WAS AN ERASED ENTRY AND OTHER LINES WERE EVIDENCE OF A RE-ENTRY. The enlarged photo shows the fine details of the erased transfer at bottom, which was shifted about 2mm to the left of the primary transfer. Using Photoshop, we determined that Wagshal was correct in his judgment that other secondary transfer lines could not possibly align with the erased transfer. With 1970 P.F. certificate stating "genuine with one re-entry", reflecting Neinken's opinion.

1438		1c Blue, Ty. IIIa, Triple Transfer (22 var). Plate 11, A Relief from an undetermined position, showing wide break at top and clearly showing the triple transfer at top, light strike of grid cancel EXTREMELY FINE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 ONE-CENT PLATE ELEVEN TRIPLE TRANSFER. ASHBROOK AND NEINKEN REGARDED THIS VARIETY AS SECOND ONLY TO THE INVERTED TRANSFERS ON PLATE ONE. The Neinken book devotes almost two full pages to this extraordinary transfer variety (pp. 474-476). Ashbrook-Neinken note that there were three entries from the relief: the original entry was badly misplaced and almost entirely erased, a second fresh entry was made, and then over this a third re-entry was made. The last two were made from the same relief (A Relief), but it is not known if the first entry was also made from the A Relief. The Neinken book contains four diagrams illustrating the plating characteristics. Ex Neinken.
