Nov. 19 1917 11:30AM" machine cancel on locally addressed cover, stamp with tiny tear at top right and sealed tear at bottom left, Very Fine appearance, this stamp was created in 1917 when a small excess supply of the imperforate Scott 344 was returned by the New York City post office to the Bureau for credit, rather than issue the credit, the Bureau perforated the sheets and returned them to the New York City post office for public sale, this is the first on cover we have offered since 2008, with 2001 P.F. certificate
