Macon Ga., 5c Black on Yellow Wove (53X3). Huge margins including top sheet margin, tied by "Macon Ga. Jun. 29" (1861) double-circle datestamp on cover to Mrs. Howell Cobb, Athens Ga., some insignificant cover staining at bottom

EXTREMELY FINE EXAMPLE OF THE MACON 5-CENT FLORAL BORDER POSTMASTER'S PROVISIONAL ON COVER.

All of the Macon provisional stamps were printed from typeset forms. The 2c and two of the three 5c settings simply state the denomination and nothing else, and they were the first stamps printed. These were followed by the four-line "square" stamp, which includes the words "Post Office" and "Macon, Ga." The order of issue is confused by the Scott Catalogue listings.

Ex MacBride and Kilbourne. With 1999 C.S.A. certificate. Scott Retail $6,000.00
