Amazing little cover here. I could say why but that would take away all of the fun for some people.   |

I assume the cancel date is really 1861, since to my knowledge it can't be 1851. |

Well each stamp is a bit different, to quite a bit different. It not just the mixed usage that is notable with this cover. |

Is Baskin Roberts still around? I used to go to the one near the Boston Common. Great stuff. Love the portions and flavors. Never saw any stamps at the one I went too. But Boston is historical and I can see the Ben Franklin tie to the whole thing. Postmarked in idaho? Interesting things. |

Looks like a Type III or IIIa (I'm not good enough to tell from the scan) plus two number 9, one with a major DT. |

Bart is getting close. For one thing, he knows where Dubuque is. He also sees one major DT. |

I see the extra lines on the left #9 as well, but I am not sure of exactly what they are. |

I keep thinking about the triple transfer one inverted but I am not sufficiently knowledgeable on all the variations. |

Somebody used up some quirky old stamps as demonetization loomed. Good stuff. |

That would not have mattered much in Iowa or Pennsylvania. And the #63 had only just come out a few days before. |

Bart, you were doing so well!
