ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC COVERS OF THE 1851 ISSUE AND THE EARLIEST RECORDED USE OF THE 1¢ 1851 ISSUE FROM THE WEST COAST.
This cover represents an exceptionally rare use of the 1¢ 1851 Issue to pay the new 6¢ prepaid rate, effective July 1851, for distances exceeding 3,000 miles. It was dispatched on the very first sailing from San Francisco to Panama following the arrival of the new stamps in California.
The first shipment of the 1851 Issue reached the West Coast aboard the Pacific Mail Steamship Company steamer "Oregon," which arrived in San Francisco on September 18, 1851. The earliest documented West Coast use of the new issue is a cover bearing a pair of 3¢ Orange Brown stamps, postmarked at Sacramento on September 30, 1851.
Mail postmarked in San Francisco on October 1, 1851, was carried on the return voyage of the "Oregon," departing that same day and arriving in Panama on October 20. The correspondence then crossed the isthmus and continued from Chagres to New York aboard the United States Mail Steamship Company steamer "Ohio," which sailed on October 25 and reached New York on November 5. The present cover traveled on that sailing.
Noted philatelist Stanley B. Ashbrook regarded this and other 1851 Issue covers bearing the same October 1 postmark as "first day" uses from California. US$10,000-15,000 (Image)
