1c Blue, Ty. IV (9). Position 64L1L, recut once at top and bottom, large margins on bright paper, tied by partly clear strike of red "New-York Paid 1 Ct. Oct. 17" integral drop-rate circular datestamp on folded cover to addressee on Wall Street, undoubtedly from the same source as lot 235, file fold clear of the stamp, minor backflap tear

VERY FINE. A RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 ONE-CENT IMPERFORATE TIED ON COVER BY THE NEW YORK INTEGRAL DROP-RATE DATESTAMP.

The postmark, date and handwriting are identical to the cover offered in lot 235. This was probably part of a group of circulars bootlegged from England and dropped at the New York Post Office.
