Lot 296 Canada #15 5c Vermilion, Beaver, 1859-1867 First Cents Issue. Pair of Perf. 12 Used on January 1867 Cover to New York, USA
A VG-F cover sent from Montreal to New York, on January 3, 1867, franked with a pair of the 5c vermilion Beaver, perf. 12. The stamps are tied with a Montreal split ring duplex cancel. The stamps are affixed towards the top of the cover, so the left perfs of both are somewhat damaged, and so because of this the cover is VG-F, rather than fine. The Firby "Canadian Posted Letter Guide" values an average cover at $60.
