Scott No. 7  Estimate $3,000 - 4,000. The Confederate Nine-Star Flag was created during the three days after Arkansas was admitted and before North Carolina joined as the tenth Confederate State. Very few examples of the 9-Star Confederate Flag patriotic designs are known, some of which have handstamped Paid markings and no stamps. This choice cover with the 5c De La Rue franking is certainly one of the finest of the few known. . $0 (Image)
