**Plate One Late (Positions 71L/81L/91L Inverted Transfers, Scott 23)**
Lot	Sym.	Lot Description
1010		1c Blue, Ty. IV, Triple Transfer, One Inverted (23 var). Position 71L1L, recut twice at top and once at bottom (only four such recuts on the plate), deep rich color, choice centering for this difficult issue, bold strike of grid cancel VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A BEAUTIFUL USED EXAMPLE OF THE TRIPLE TRANSFER/ONE INVERTED FROM POSITION 71L1L. THIS IS EXTREMELY RARE AS A PERFORATED STAMP, AND THIS IS ONE OF THE FINEST WE HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. The inverted transfers on Positions 71L, 81L and 91L were made after the top row of the right pane of Plate 1 Early was entered from the Type I single-relief transfer roll. According to Richard Celler's theory, the three inverted transfers were made from a Type I design 3-relief transfer roll as a sort of trial after the top row entries had been made and the plate was turned around 180 degrees. When another plate ("Plate 0") had to be discarded, the siderographer returned to Plate 1 and erased the three inverted transfers before completing the plate with entries surrounding 3R to 10R. On Plate 1 Early, Positions 71L and 81L are double transfers. Position 91L was entered a total of three times, so it is a triple transfer, one inverted. When the plate was reworked in 1852, 71L and 81L were re-entered (but not 91L), making them all triple transfers, one inverted. The stamp offered here comes from Position 71L on Plate 1 Late. This major variety is significantly rarer in perforated form. We have offered only a half-dozen since keeping computerized records.
