This cover was dated as 3/31/xx in Siegel sale 567 lot 507 where it realized $4500. With the 3 directly under the A, this cover is properly dated 3/3/xx and the vertical ink line to the right of the 3 is just the edge of the type and not a 1. For comparison, check the location of the 31 relative to MAR on cover ID #12995
