Scott No. 72X1  $35,000. THE UNIQUE EXAMPLE OF THE RUTHERFORDTON 5¢ POSTMASTER'S PROVISIONAL AND ONE OF THE GREAT TREASURES OF CONFEDERATE PHILATELY. This is a unique provisional, one of the classics of Confederate philately and was last offered 30 years ago at auction in a Richard Frajola sale where it sold for $29,700. Listed but priced with a dash in the CSA Catalog, evidence of how infrequently rarities of this magnitude change hands and how difficult they are to value. The Scott Catalog value of $35,000 is based on a thirty-year-old auction realization and the price in italics attests to similar difficulty of valuation in today's market.The addressee, George J. Sheppard, was a merchant in Liberty Hill, South Carolina, after the war. His motto was "A Quick Penny is Better than a Slow Shilling." (Edgefield Advertiser, Edgefield, S.C., September 18, 1867). He was listed as the postmaster of Kirksey's X-Roads, Edgefield District, in 1849. (Image1)
