VERY FINE. A RARE USE OF THE 5-CENT 1847 ISSUE IN A DISTINCTIVE SHADE WITH THE BOSTON CARRIER STAMP TIED BY THE CIRCULAR DATESTAMP.

Accompanied by note from Calvet M. Hahn who notes that if this is indeed an 1849 usage then this would be the earliest reported use of the Boston Carrier stamp. His note also states that the color of the 5c stamp would point to an 1850 usage as he believes this comes from the third printing, which did not reach Boston until June 20, 1849.

Ex Pope. With 1985 P.F. certificate and note from Calvet M. Hahn of the same year. (Image)
