2222 c ImageNashville Tenn., 5c Grayish Brown (61X5 var). Large margins to barely in at top left, tied by blue "Nashville Ten. Oct. 12, 1861" circular datestamp and "PAID" handstamp on red and blue 7-Star Confederate Flag Patriotic cover, Gow imprint, to Shelbyville Tenn., few small filing holes, minor wear

VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT NASHVILLE POSTMASTER'S PROVISIONAL ISSUE ON A PATRIOTIC COVER. A PHENOMENAL EXHIBITION ITEM.

We have used the term "Grayish Brown" to describe the shade of this stamp, based on our experience with expertizing groups. The Gray 61X4 shade is often called "Violet Brown" 61X5 when it has a slight brownish hue. This stamp is not the normal Violet Brown, and it is used in October 1861 when the Gray stamps were generally used, but rather than risk a return over subjective differences of opinion among experts, we will call this stamp "Grayish Brown" and offer it as 61X5.
