Oct. 19" manuscript postmark on buff cover to Plushville Ind. with Noisy Carrier's illustrated miner's corner card depicting miner panning for gold, his exclamation “I have got most enough” is crossed out, with "Noisy Carrier’s, No. 77 Long Wharf, San Francisco" imprint, woodcut has “Anthony & Baker” imprint, missing part of top flap, some edgewear

VERY FINE. A PHENOMENAL USE OF THE RARE "I HAVE GOT MOST ENOUGH" ILLUSTRATED MINER'S COVER PUBLISHED BY NOISY CARRIER'S.

The sender's crossing out the "I have got most enough" is a poignant statement on the mentality of most gold miners. We have offered only one other example of this design (with a single 10c, Scott 16) since keeping computerized records.
