image 3d Beaver Imperforate on 1860 Registered Cover to Oakville, mailed Toronto on JAN.2.1860, one year into the currency period. The cover is endorsed "Money - Registered" and has a "REGISTERED" handstamp, and it would appear the 3d stamp (tied to cover by Toronto square grid) was converted to 5c for the domestic rate, and the 2c registration fee paid in cash. Small tear on backflap, still very fine and a rare late use of a Pence issue in the decimal era. (Image)
