AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE OF THE 1847 ISSUE USED ENTIRELY OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES FROM PANAMA TO MEXICO.
This cover originated in Panama and was stamped by the U.S. mail agent and consul, Amos B. Corwine, before it was carried on a Pacific Mail Steamship Co. steamer on the coastal route to San Francisco. Among the stops made on this route was the Mexican port city of San Blas. Official records of 1847 stamp distribution indicate that 25 sheets of the 10¢ (2,500 stamps) were sent on June 22, 1850, to Corwine in Panama, and received on July 16. Another 25 sheets were sent on January 17, 1851, and received March 21. The stamps on this cover come from the first supply. The USPCS 1847 census lists ten covers originating in Panama. This is one of three addressed to a destination outside of the United States, including one to Mazatlan and two to San Blas/Tepic. It is written on paper watermarked "J WHATMAN / 1850".
