lot, the finest collection of its kind we have seen. Originally shown at

617-619 (1) x 11, 1st Jackson cachets include three of each value (2 on 2c)
with all 5c with foreign destinations with one to China and the others to
France. There were 5 additional stamps issued the same day as the
Lexington-Concord issues and we note eight in all including, 617 + 551, 617
plate block of six + 551, 618 + 586, 618 + 576, 618-619 + 551, 617-619 +
