Wells, Fargo & Co. Pony Express, $4.00 Green (143L2). Large margins to just in at bottom, rich color, cancelled by well-struck blue Running Pony oval datestamp clearly showing the Running Pony, few creases and tears

FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE USED EXAMPLE OF THE $4.00 GREEN HORSE & RIDER FIRST ISSUE, WITH A CLEAR STRIKE OF THE RUNNING PONY OVAL DATESTAMP. PERHAPS A HALF-DOZEN ARE KNOWN IN USED CONDITION.

The $4.00 Green was used briefly during Rate Period 3 to pay the double $2.00 per half-ounce rate. Only one cover is recorded (FKW Census No. E105), and we have seen perhaps a half dozen genuinely cancelled stamps off cover.
