Item # Description Price Picture
4003 # 11a, F+, tied by XF strike of blue fancy geometric killer composed of 11 short wedges around central dot (similar to Simpson's killer #215) on F-VF intact cover with red BALLSTON, NY postmark. Scarce fancy on issue. $175

3258 #11, cut just in at left, tied on fine, unreduced cover by VF, rare SHABBONA GROVE, ILL JULY 29 scroll fancy postmark. This postmark is much scarcer than the well known Shabbona Grove shield DeKalb County postmark from around the same period and is more commonly found on stampless envelopes.  This fancy cancellation item is missing from most important collections of the 3 cent 1851 issue.  It is listed in Simpson's as a rarity 9 cancellation.  A wonderful and exhibit quality 1851 issue cover!
