Notes
U.S. #1, on 1851 cover with Blue Troy, N.Y, cancel 4 large margins, top and left are torn from sheet but there are still 4 clear margins. The 2020 cert states stamp has faults-- the fact that it was torn from sheet on two sides. Letter is folded in half but doesn't affect stamp. Soiled as per scan.
