1c Green, A.E.F. Booklet Pane (498f). Rich color, tied by mute oval cancels on manila piece which looks like it could have been an oversize wrapper, this style of oval cancel was often used on high-value packages, few minor perf separations not mentioned on accompanying certificates

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXTREMELY RARE INTACT USED PANE OF THE ONE-CENT A.E.F. BOOKLET. VERY FEW ARE KNOWN.

The A.E.F. booklet panes were issued in September 1917, primarily for use by the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe during World War I. Only 3,000 panes were prepared of both the 1c and 2c denominations. By October they were no longer needed, as Congress voted to allow mail to be sent free of charge by active members of the Armed Forces. Many of the panes were destroyed.

Very few intact used panes are recorded. This is the only one we have offered since keeping computerized records. With 2004 A.P.S. and 2010 P.F. certificates.
