Three domestic registered covers, all sent March, April and September 1993, and all franked with $3.38 postage. Each has a different combination of stamps making up the rate, and in each case the printings of the $1 and $2 definitives used are different:
• The March 1993 cover is franked with Ashton Potter printings of the 6c (pair) and 25c berries, and a single 1c Flying Squirrel on Coated Papers paper, plus the scarcer October 1992 reprints of both the $1 and $2.

• The September 1993 cover is franked with Ashton Potter printings of the 1c, 10c and 25c berries, 2c porcupine on Coated Papers paper, plus the July and August 1992 reprints of the $1 and $2. These both have the random dot pattern in the lower 2/3 of the designs and the thicker green header and roof rails.
Very fine. Nice usages of these scarce reprints. Net est. $35.
