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

Plate Twelve (Quasi Type Ia, Positions 46L12 and 56L12, Scott 18 var., 20, 21)

I, Quasi-Type Ia, II, III (18, 18 var, 20, 21). Positions 34-36/44-46/54-56L12, block of nine including Position 46L12, which is the only perforated Type III from any plate other than Plate 4, and Position 56L12, which has the complete design at bottom and partly-erased design at top (an unlisted quasi-Type Ia), the normal relief order for the positions in this block is B-C-C/C-B-B/B-C-C (B=Type II, C=Type I), but 46L12 has a degree of completeness at lower left that is not compatible with the B Relief (see notes below), original gum, few small h.r. mostly where few minor perf separations sensibly reinforced, Position 46L12 shows clear breaks at both top and bottom, 56L12 also has double transfer

FINE-VERY FINE. ONE OF TWO RECORDED 1857 ONE-CENT BLOCKS FROM THE LEFT PANE OF PLATE TWELVE CONTAINING POSITION 46L12 AND THE ONLY ONE WITH 56L12 BELOW. THE PERFORATED TYPE III FROM PLATE TWELVE -- POSITION 46L12 -- IS ONE OF THE GREAT, YET WIDELY OVERLOOKED, RARITIES OF THE 1851-57 ISSUE, AS IS THE UNCATALOGUED QUASI-TYPE Ia PRODUCED BY POSITION 56L12.

According to the Neinken book (p. 495), Position 46L12 is different from all other positions on Plate 12. Given the normal method of entering the positions, it should be a B Relief. However, the bottom left of 46L12 is more complete than it should be if the entry was made from the B Relief. Neinken states that after much study by himself and Elliott Perry, they concluded that it is an exact match for the T Relief used to enter the top row of Plate 11, which was created around the same time as Plate 12. Characteristics of the T Relief include a greater degree of completeness at the bottom left than is present on the B Relief. Neinken theorizes that the siderographer used the T-A-B transfer roll (used for Plate 11), and entered a single position on Plate 12 -- 46L -- perhaps to correct an earlier mistake in entering the position. Other students disagree with the idea that the T Relief was used, and the matter awaits resolution.

Position 56L12 was discussed in an article by Jerome S. Wagshal ("The One Cent Stamp of 1851-57: A Reconsideration of Types I Through IIIa", 1973 Congress Book, pp. 113-115), in which he presented his case for reclassifying some of the 1c 1851-57 types. Regarding Position 56L12, Wagshal opined, "[it] requires separate recognition. Its characteristics are unlike those of any other position on any plate of the One Cent stamp. Judged by the standards which are the basis of the One Cent classification system, 56L12 must be given a separate status as a subtype of Type I."

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. POSITION 46L12 PRODUCED THE ONLY PERFORATED TYPE III ON ANY PLATE OTHER THAN PLATE FOUR. VERY FEW EXAMPLES ARE KNOWN.

According to the Neinken book (p. 495), Position 46L12 is different from all other positions on Plate 12. Given the normal method of entering the positions, it should be a B Relief. However, the bottom left of 46L12 is more complete than it should be if the entry was made from the B Relief.

VERY FINE. ONE OF TWO REPORTED COVERS WITH POSITION 46L12, WHICH PRODUCED THE ONLY PERFORATED TYPE III ON ANY PLATE OTHER THAN PLATE FOUR.
