the Selected Classic to Modern Mexican Postal History ef04 Mexico Mexico-French Exp. Corp. letter CEMF31 Mar 63. This soldiers letter, using the 20c stamp for enlisted men, was sent early on in the campaign of the French Intervention into Mexico. Likely this was sent from somewhere between Veracruz and Mexico City or Puebla. These expedition covers are some of the most sought after in all postal history for both Mexico and France. This example with the nice condition stamp and on a small cover would be an outstanding example for your collection. Nice in any collection, this will be great in yours. . Today, I am listing covers that will be from the pre-stamp period to early modern. You should be able to find both interesting and difficult to find items. I have some of the out of district material in these early covers. In the early modern covers you will find certified and register mail. Some of the dead letter mail that was opened and returned to the sender are in these early 20th Century mail. There are some good Revolutionary material in these also. Later censor covers are always popular. So, Please check out all my listings for some great buys. To avoid more bytes per scan I have scanned all covers at 150dpi and where possible I have cropped the reverse sides of these covers to show important postal markings. Some of my markings you may not be familiar with:Sc = Scott CatalogueNF = Nicholas Follansbee's catalogueY/B = Yag Bash Catalogue of Stampless cancels (pre-1856)SN = Sello Negro (Black Stamp) covers used when postage stamps were not available (after 1856).OOD = Out of District (These are cancels used either as cancellation at place of sending or as receiver cancels. Only on cover is there positive proof of use.) t-(numbers 1-10) = one of the ten relief types found on 1868 issues. t-with number = type - number on any items that needs separation of types. Tipo = Types of Mexico, the 1868 issues that were printed from the original stones, used in a contemporary postal fraud during 1870-71.Sz = Schatzkes catalogue number for cancels used from 1856 to 1872 issues.Sch = Schimmer Catalogue number (state, office#/cancel #) 1874 -1900 issues.District may be abbreviated, such as DGO = Durango, GDA = Guadalajara, GTO = Guanajuato, MAZ = Mazatlan, MEX DF = Mexico, QRO = Queretaro, SLP = San Louis Potosi, VCZ = Veracruz and ZAC = Zacatecas This is one of a number of Early Mexican classics to modern stamps and covers that I am running this week in my auction and store front lots. All should be interesting and a great examples for the issue, district and cancels. and interesting usage. All of this material will have starting prices that represent very low retail for the lot. Condition varies, so some will be much better bargains than others, but most are far better than the average. Remember that if the stamp has full margins, these carry a 30% premium in NF catalogue values because catalogue prices in NF are for F-VF . So, don't pass up this opportunity to add excellent material to your collection. I have selected many of these examples for their outward appearance, and most in this selection you are viewing would be excellent examples to display in the best of collections.
