Americana Stamps Sale Winter 2026 (Mar 20-22, 2026) unsold
PF 618874 genuine use
Notation on back is wrong. In 1843, Mar 8 was a Monday (just like Mar 1st). Tuesday was on Mar 9th.
Based on the internal notation, I am dating this cover as Mar 9, 1843.
Not listed in the Calvet M. Hahn census in The Penny Post.
