VERY FINE AND LIKELY UNIQUE USE OF A 2-CENT ALASKA-YUKON BISECT STAMP ON A FIRST DAY COVER.

Bisects in this period are philatelic but this is still a very rare use of one on an Alaska-Yukon First Day cover. Haber records only this single example. Scott value $3,000.00 for ordinary First Day cover.
