Confederacy, Sheperdstown (West) Va. Jan. 21, clear strike of cds on orange buff turned cover with straight line "Paid" and "5" rating handstamps with military address "In care of Capt. A.J. Deyerle, Co. E, 42nd Regt. Va. Vols. Col. Burks", the inside usage with manuscript postmark "Middleway (West) Va./Jan. 2" with matching manuscript "Paid 5" and addressed to Sheperdstown, Very Fine and choice, ex-Kohn; signed Brian Green stating there are three known of the Shepherdstown postmark and the Middleway is the listing example. Estimate  $2,000 - 3,000. A UNIQUE USAGE COMBINING THE ONLY RECORDED MIDDLEWAY POSTMARK AND THE MISSPELLED SHEPERDSTOWN CDS. This Sheperdstown cover is quite unusual for two reasons: First, the town name in the circular date stamp is misspelled "Sheperdstown". Secondly, it is a turned cover usage. Therefore, the envelope has two (West) Virginia postmarks which may be unique.References: Pictured in Monroe book on pg. 55. $0 (Image)
