639 c ImageRaleigh N.C., 5c Red entire (68XU1). Partly clear strike of red provisional handstamp, "5" crossed out and franked with 5c Green, Stone 1-2 (1), tied by red grid cancel, blue "Raleigh N.C. Dec. 14 1861" double-circle datestamp on cover to Salem N.C., stamp with small nick at top right

VERY FINE. A FASCINATING AND DESIRABLE COVER FRANKED WITH BOTH THE RALEIGH POSTMASTER'S PROVISIONAL HANDSTAMP AND A GENERAL ISSUE STAMP.

This is an unusual cover and a late appearance for the Raleigh Provisional. It seems that the sender or the Raleigh Post Office had the new stamps on hand by December 14 and simply used the provisional envelope as a matter of convenience. A review using Power Search found a cover postmarked Dec. 12 (two days before this cover) with no adhesive stamp and the provisional handstamp paying the postage. The only possibly later use we found was described by us as "Jan." (presumably 1862), but the double-circle datestamp strike is blurry and could just as likely be "Jun." (1861).

640   ImageRheatown Tenn., 5c Red (69X1). Position 1 in setting, full margins to touching at top left and lower left, small ms. cancel and trace of what may be handstamp cancel, light soiling and tiny sealed edge tear at top

FINE APPEARING AND RARE EXAMPLE OF THE THE RHEATOWN POSTMASTER'S PROVISIONAL.

The 5c provisional stamps issued by Postmaster D. Pence were printed by the same printer who produced the Tellico Plains Tenn. provisional. The June dates recorded for the Rheatown suggest that it came first, and the postmaster's own recollections place the issue in "midsummer 1861" (see Crown book, p. 307). Although dated examples show usage into April 1862, a relatively long period of time, the issue is extremely rare.

The same basic type form containing three subjects was used for the Rheatown and Tellico Plains Tenn. provisionals. For the Rheatown, all three were 5c denominations. The inside border at the top of each stamp is made up of seven ornaments, the unique arrangement of the ornaments in each subject enables philatelists to identify the position of any stamp.

Our records contain at least a half-dozen off-cover examples the Rheatown 5c, including an unused pair, the only known multiple, as well as five covers and one dated piece (Image)
