Lot 19055

Confederate States, CSA #4, 5c Blue, Stone 2, Middle Positions 5-6 and Right Positions 8-9, Three Horizontal Pairs, Tied on Cover Front

Incredibly Scarce Triple Rate Usage

Opening: $750

Estimate: $1,500 - $3,000

Sold For $750

Stamps tied by four strikes of "Mobile Ala., Jul 26, 1862" double-circle postmarks, addressed to Mr. Strenna, who was a merchant in Montgomery, Ala.
The left stamp of the right pair with a scuff, the right stamp of the right pair with a vertical crease, the front repaired at right, and two vertical folds to front not affecting the stamps.
Despite these faults, this cover front is still attractive and can easily be exhibited, as it is exceptionally rare to find a cover or usage bearing more than a single pair of CSA #4 stamps to pay a higher rate.
