 #467, 5c Carmine error, single (damaged at right
in opening) tied to petite lady's cover by both a flag machine cancel and a
handstamped duplex of Portland Maine (duplex added when the small envelope
went through the machine incorrectly), May 22, 1917 earliest documented
usage, posted to San Francisco, fine appearance; this is truly a
remarkable usage, this error, caused by transferring the wrong denomination
into three positions of the 2c plate no. 7942, though not caught by the
Bureau of Engraving, was quickly recognized by collectors, thus many were
saved mint with only a very few being used, mostly philatelicly inspired,
in fact any cover is of great rarity with less than 20 covers known;
however this cover has all the earmarks of a legitimate usage by someone
who did not recognize the error, it is paying the 2c letter rate and
certainly the recipient did not recognize the importance as evidenced by
the way he opened it, this all coincides with it being the earliest
documented usage, apparently used before the error was widely publicized;
1997 PF certificate; ex-"Alpha".
