1722 c Image10c Milky Blue, Die A (11). Full to large margins, lovely pastel color, tied by bold strike of blue "Richmond Va." (May-June 1863) dateless circle handstamp on captured Union Patriotic cover to Dahlonega Ga., a beautiful multicolored design on yellow envelope with Eagle, American Flag, musical score and lyrics, "Soldier's Letter" at top and "Constitution/ Army for the Union" at bottom, James P.

EXTREMELY FINE. A SPECTACULAR CAPTURED UNION PATRIOTIC COVER WITH A RARE DESIGN, A BEAUTIFUL CONFEDERATE GENERAL ISSUE STAMP AND A SCARCE BLUE RICHMOND POSTMARK.

Examples of the Richmond post office's dateless circle in blue are reported on covers from May-June 1863. This cover combines everything that can be desired in a postal history artifact from the Civil War. This is a rare Union Patriotic design that would be very desirable as an ordinary piece of U.S. mail. As a Confederate captured use, with a scarce Richmond postmark and the scarce Milky Blue shade of the 10c Engraved stamp, it is immensely more desirable. (Image)
