A REMARKABLE 5¢ 1847 ISSUE COVER TO AN OFFICER SERVING IN THE MEXICAN-AMERICAN WAR, RETURNED TO PHILADELPHIA AS HE HAD ALREADY LEFT FOLLOWING THE END OF THE WAR. THIS IS THE ONLY RECORDED 5¢ 1847 COVER TO MEXICO.

Elisha Kent Kane (1820-1857) was an American explorer, and a medical officer in the United States Navy during the first half of the 19th century. He was a member of two Arctic expeditions to rescue the explorer Sir John Franklin. He was present at the discovery of Franklin's first winter camp, but he did not find out what had happened to the fatal expedition. On September 14, 1843, he became Assistant Surgeon in the Navy. He served in the China Commercial Treaty mission under Caleb Cushing, in the Africa Squadron, and in the United States Marine Corps during the Mexican-American War. One battle that Kane fought in was at Nopalucan on January 6, 1848. At Napolucan, he captured, befriended and saved the life of Mexican General Antonio Gaona and the General's wounded son.

1851 Issue
LotNo. Symbol CatNo. Lot Description
1400     5A image1851, 1¢ blue, type Ib, top margin single. Position 3R1E, full sheet margin at top and ample margins to just in at bottom, rich color, tied by neat blue "Cambridge, Ms., Feb 4" cds on locally addressed cover; stamp minor light toning in top margin only, still Very Fine and attractive, with 2016 P.S.A.G. certificate.
Scott No. 5A; $10,000; Estimate $2,500 - 3,500.

A RARE AND HANDSOME USAGE OF THE RARE 1851 1¢ TYPE IB ON COVER.

The type 1b issues were only produced from the early state of plate one. Six positions at the top of the right plate, positions 3R-6R and 8R-9R, furnished all of these issues. Position 3R1E holds a particular interest in the study of double transfers. With the upper left ornament showing a triple entry and additional transfers found at bottom especially in the value tablet. It is quite possible that this doubling of the design was not the result of two re-entries, but that the initial entry was faulty and erased (mostly) and a fresh entry was made.
