United States and Confederate States Postal History continued...

Confederate States: June 1, 1861, First Day of Postal System
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
2464 c ImageCorinth Miss. Jun. 1 (1861) -- First Day of the Confederate Postal System. Balloon-style circular datestamp with "PAID" straightline and manuscript "Paid" 5", the "5" written over an apparent "3" on Jefferson Davis Medallion, 7-Star Flags, Sunburst and "Henry Grays" Regimental Patriotic cover (JD-1A var) to Abbeville Ala., barely reduced at right and some faint soiling

VERY FINE. ONE OF THE MOST OUTSTANDING FIRST DAY COVERS OF THE CONFEDERATE POSTAL SYSTEM -- WITH THE JEFFERSON DAVIS MEDALLION PATRIOTIC DESIGN.

A review using Power Search failed to find another June 1, 1861, First Day of Confederate Postal System cover with any type of Patriotic design. This cover would make an excellent companion to the outstanding Corinth Miss. Jefferson Davis Patriotic cover used on May 31, 1861, the last day of U.S. rates in the Confederacy (see Siegel Sale 795, lot 36).

With 1999 C.S.A. certificate stating "Genuine June 1, 1861 usage" (Image)
