image 1847, 5¢ red brown. Ample margins with separation cut in lower left margin, tied by large manuscript Roman numeral "X" on 1850 folded letter to Philadelphia, Pa., red "Lansingburgh, N.Y., Sep 21" origin cds alongside, Extremely Fine, with 2018 P.F. certificate.
Scott No. 1; Estimate $750 - 1,000.

A WONDERFUL ROMAN NUMERAL "X" CANCELLATION IN MANUSCRIPT ON A 1847 5¢ ISSUE FROM LANSINGBURGH, N.Y.

This is one of three recorded usages of the 5¢ issue from Lansingburgh, N.Y. (with only one 10¢ usage known) and the only example bearing this unusual manuscript cancel. This may have been a provisional usage to uprate the cover to 10 cents for a double rate to Philadelphia due to a possible shortage of 10¢ adhesives. The Alexander book records 1200 5¢ adhesives being sent to Lansingburgh and only 100 10¢ adhesives.
