Scott No. 9X1e; Estimate $2,000 - 3,000.
A
scarce July 16th 1845 use which is the second earliest date known, fewer than five are recorded from this date. This cover is interesting as the red curved "Paid" handstamp was used to cancel most of the first day July 15th 1845 usages. This
second day usage has the stamp cancelled by manuscript even though the "Paid" handstamp is present. It suggests that there was no decided upon approach to cancel the New York provisional stamp at this point. (Image1) |
