#179, tied by an XF detailed and complete strike of
the exceptionally rare NYFM geometric, Weiss GE-EP 13, on VF,
entirely intact mourning cover to France. This is a
newly discovered cover, previously unknown to NYFM collectors.
(According to my source this cover was acquired in Europe.)
Prior to this, only three inbound foreign mail covers each bearing
Scott 179 (including a spectacular one additionally franked with
with Peru 1d green #14) and one cover front to Japan with 157, 158
and 161 (ex-Boker) have been known to exist. This cover is
the only reported transatlantic use of GE-EP 13 and only the
fifth on-cover usage now recorded. Weiss records the three
inbound foreign mail covers with dates of use ranging from 1/20/1876
to 5/6/1876; the Japan cover front is postmarked APR 23. This
cover's cancellation date, interestingly, is DEC 9, 1876 based upon
the station postmark on the reverse and confirmed by the blue Paris
receiving stamp on front, perhaps demonstrating a gap in the use of
this killer. Note that the geometric cancellation is quite
clear and distinct showing little wear from earlier uses.
Also note that this fancy NYFM killer was applied when foreign mail
ellipse killers had already come into regular use. The 179 has
separation faults at left and a corner crease at bottom right.
However, these faults are trivial relative to the importance of this
cover and hardly detract from this spectacular usage. This
cover deserves to be a centerpiece of any NYFM cover collection and
exhibit. |
