 10c Blue, Die A, Perforated
(11e). Wide margins, tied by "Newnan Ga. Jul. 19" (1863) circular
datestamp on turned pre-war advertising cover with U.S. 3c 1851 tied by
"New-York" circular datestamp, dated 1854, Confederate period usage to
Harmony Grove Ga., partly separated flaps, folded over for
displayVERY FINE. A UNIQUE ADVERSITY USAGE OF THE PERFORATED 10-CENT ARCHER & DALY STAMP. The re-use of pre-war envelopes was commonly practiced in the Confederacy in response to paper shortages. However, examples of pre-war turned covers are scarce, and early usages with the U.S. 1851 Issue are rare. To find such an example with the perforated Archer & Daly stamp is true serendipity. As an indication of the value of this unique cover, it realized $3,900 in 1979, nearly twenty years ago, in the Brugh sale. (Image Magnifier) |

 20c Green (13). Large to
huge margins, tied by light strike of "Greenville Ten." circular
datestamp on cover to Locust Grove S.C., cover with some soiling and
wearVERY FINE. THIS 20-CENT GREEN COVER IS ONE OF THE KEYS TO COMPLETING A COLLECTION OF EVERY GENERAL ISSUE STAMP USED FROM TENNESSEE. By mid-1863, when the 20c General Issue was released, much of Tennessee was occupied by Federal forces. Greenville, in eastern Tennessee, was one of the last cities to to fall, and it received more of the General Issues than any other post office. Only a few 20c covers are known from Tennessee (Dr. Thomas Ray reported this as unique). Ex Gallagher (Image Magnifier) |
