VERY FINE. ONE OF SIX RECORDED JULY 1, 1851, DATED CIRCULARS WITH THE ONE-CENT 1851 ISSUE. THESE ARE LISTED IN THE FIRST DAY COVER SECTION OF THE SCOTT U.S. SPECIALIZED CATALOGUE.
Printed circulars were frequently mailed after their publication date, so this is not a true First Day use of the new 1c 1851 Issue. However, the Scott U.S. Specialized lists July 1 circulars in the First Day Cover section and prices this at $4,000.00. (Image)
