US Stamp On Cover Oct 1856 Value And ID?

Hi folks Oct 1856 number 11? Type 1 or 2? Value on cover please?

Scott #11A, Type II, from top row of pane w/ Wilmington, Delaware CDS. Value is between $5-8 probably. There are a zillion 3c collectors on ebay that will pay a fair price for the cover whatever that ends up being. If it is actually a '56 usage the color is almost certainly '56 Brownish Carmine.

yup! I, for one would snap it up in a minute! Great cover.

Only $8 I thought it maybe worth more than that, I suppose I'll list it for $10 bucks and see what happens. Thanks for the help.

I would pass on this.. there are a million of these with all 4 sides intact... at $5.00 each...
I know I bought a bunch of them recently..

Hi the post made by I_Love_Stamps, if you want this cover let me know and I'll sell to you rather than list.

millions around, hmm so are there any old US covers worth any decent sum of money?

there are a lot of covers worth a lot of money.
The #11 aren't that valuable.
There were 340 million 11's.

any example pics of a few high value ones?

Think about it - what would make that cover worth more? Logically, the following would:
- Better margins all around (the bottom is cut into)
- A rare origination or destination (Wilmington, Del to Philadelphia is nothing special. Indian Territory [Oklahoma], is special)
- Something else going on on the cover (see below)
- A better stamp. The 3c is the most common stamp of the era. An imperforate 1c stamp is scarcer, some varieties of the 1c imperforate are worth >$50,000 on cover. If it had a full margin 5c imperforate, it would be worth >$500, regardless of anything else. An imperforate 10c stamp would be worth >$100 regardless of anything else. Same will hold true for the perforated versions of this issue, as well as the 1861, 1869, and virtually any other series of stamps.
- covers with multiple stamps, multiple denominations, etc. would add to the value.

Now, here are some "better" imperforate 3c covers:







That help?

PS:
Here's the auction listing for a $1,200,000 "higher value US cover."

wow nice color... now where did I put that 1.2 mil?

i have a CSA 2 on cover worth around 350.00
and a certified 64b on cover.. worth around 200.00
and even some nice stampless covers..

Here is a classic example of $3 Stamp on cover that has some value.



Simple Scott#65 CV around $3 on cover but the cover itself is a Patriotic cover from the Civil War showing the first battle of the Civil War. I'm not too sure of the exact value but I've already been offered $250.00 by one of the leading early US Cover experts.
