COVERS UNITED STATES — Regular Issues
	Lot	Condition	Description	Value/Bidding
	742		(491) 2¢ Carmine Type II single on a “National Fertilizers” advertising cover. 2003 APS cert states, “Scott No. 491 Type II, used on cover, 2/17/1917, genuine in all respects”. Cert. fails to mention the cover is slit at top while the stamp was removed and then reattached with a hinge. Scarce item.	Cat. Value: cat. 1,100.00 Price Realized: $200.00
	743	FDC	(1193) Project Mercury stock of several hundred first day covers. While there generally are interesting different cachets and or unofficial first day cancels, there also are batches of identical covers of relatively little interest. Worth taking a look to determine how many you could use.	Cat. Value: S.B. 250.00 Price Realized: $130.00
