LotNo. Symbol CatNo. Lot Description
161   imageUsed to the United States in 1860. 1856, Queen Victoria, 1s green, Emblems watermark, single, used with 6d lilac (wing margin at left), tied by "466" in barred oval of Liverpool, on short paid 1860 folded cover to New York, red crayon "over ½ oz" and "Short Paid" at left, black "48" (due) ties 6d; Liverpool backstamp; vertical file fold through 1/- green stamp, otherwise Very Fine.
Scott 28. SG 72.
Estimate $750 - 1,000

The cover was overweight. The 1 shilling 6d on the cover was insufficient postage. The correct rate was double the 1840 to 1 January 1868 rate of 1/- for ½ oz. The UK-USA Postal Convention of 15 December 1848, states that a partially paid letter was to be considered as wholly unpaid. Thus the cover was charged twice the 1/- postage (48 cents US).
