Lot No:608 Symbol: Spartanburg, S.C., 1861, 10¢ black. Provisional "10" in circle handstamp with "Spartanburg S.C." dateless double-circle control mark on reverse of entire to Edgefield C.H. S.C., posted with "Spartanburg S.C. May 25, 1864" double-circle datestamp and matching "Paid" straightline; few toned spots, Very Fine, ex-Birkinbine. Scott No. 78XU1; $5,000. THE ONLY RECORDED SPARTANBURG 10¢ ENTIRE, ISSUED IN 1864 DURING A SHORTAGE OF REGULAR STAMPS. This 1864 provisional entire with the 10¢ rate was probably necessary at a time when stamps were unavailable. The back of the envelope has an offset impression of the "10" rate handstamp, but not of the "Paid" straightline or cds - evidence that it was prepared and sold in advance of the mailing date. The control mark is not found on handstamped Paid covers from Spartanburg. US$0 (Image) Scott $5,000
