For the history nerds in here, note the postmark on this 1c Victoria...the day our country was born?

Neat - one of those things where even if the stamp isn't worth a fortune (F copies are in the $40 range), there's still something special about it.

Yes, I think James is correct. I just checked a sampling of used small queens and find JA for January, JU for June and JY for July.

I saw a couple of JY dates on mine. The power of suggestion is a strong thing.

Yes worth keeping Gilles. If not send it to me. It is uncommon to find dated cancels on stamps before the 1880's.
