Confederate States, 10c Blue, Die A, Perforated (11e). Bright shade, small piece out of margin at bottom right, tied by "Raleigh N.C. Nov. 7?" (1864) double-circle datestamp on turned cover with U.S. 1851 3c Dull Red, Ty. I (11) tied by "New-York" pre-war circular datestamp on other side (to Summerfield N.C.), 10c perforated stamp used in 1864 to Tarboro N.C., redirected to Wilmington with "Tarboro N.C. Nov. 9" circular datestamp and manuscript "Paid 10", folded to show U.S. stamp, light toning

VERY FINE. ONLY FOUR OR FIVE ADVERSITY COVERS ARE KNOWN SHOWING A COMBINATION OF THE OFFICIALLY PERFORATED CONFEDERATE ISSUE AND A PRE-WAR UNITED STATES STAMP -- THIS IS THE ONLY ONE FORWARDED TO ANOTHER CONFEDERATE POST OFFICE.

We record fewer than ten turned uses of the officially perforated stamps, including only four combinations with United States stamps issued before the war.
