Cooper in a later Confederate Philatelist (Nos. 235 and 242, respectively). Illustrated in Confederate Patriotic Covers and Their Usage (p. 67). Ex Gallagher and Everett (Image)

Mobile Ala., 2c Black
(58X1). Large margins except at bottom left corner where barely
touched, faint gum toning, small sealed tear at top right, tied by "Mobile
Ala. Feb. 26, 1862" double-circle datestamp on tiny cover with local
address, top edge trimmed slightly and flap reaffixedVERY FINE APPEARING STAMP AND AN ATTRACTIVE SMALL COVER. EXTREMELY RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 2-CENT MOBILE PROVISIONAL USED ON A DROP LETTER.
The Crown book records just 23 covers with the 2c Mobile. However, despite its distinctive design and established rarity, the 2c Mobile is assigned the lowest value among the ten different 2c Confederate provisionals listed and priced in the Scott Catalogue. By our estimation the Mobile should be valued at least on a par with the New Orleans 2c Blue provisional on cover, which is more common (29 recorded) but priced at $4,250. (Image)
Mobile Ala., 2c Black
(58X1). Clear to large margins, tiny margin tear at bottom right, tied
by well-struck "Mobile Ala. May 5, 1862" double-circle datestamp on fresh

might have decided to place letter into mails rather than send it by hand,
or it was carried from another place into Mobile and put into mails), Very
