Notes
Figure 24. Every serious collector would like to turn up a July 1, 1847 use of these stamps for that would be a First Day use of our fists stamp. This cover was not used in 1847 but even so it is a real rarity since it was used on the first day that the stamps had no franking power, July 1, 1851. This cover is in the C. C. Hart Collection.
