AN EXCEPTIONALLY RARE 1868 GRILLED ISSUE EXAMPLE OF THE PHANTOM RATE TO FRANCE SHOWING THE
8¢ CREDIT TO ENGLAND.
Following the expiration of the U.S.-France mail treaty on December 31, 1869, the New York postmaster was aware of and sometimes employed an unannounced fully-prepaid rate to France of 12¢ with 8¢
credit to England (published in the foreign postage tables for Algeria). The 12¢ rate applied only until July 1st, when it was reduced to 10¢. As usual, the sender of this cover may have prepaid it for the expired 15¢ treaty rate
(3¢ overpayment). Most Phantom rate covers are prepaid with the 1869 or 1870 Issue. (Image1)
