22 [1900 5 cent blue Arms] (VF+) on 3 April 1902 cover from "ST: THOMAS" to San Juan, Porto Rico, by the 5 cent inter-island rate for which this stamp was issued. Other than to Porto Rico and Guadeloupe, there were very few qualifying solo uses for this 5-cent stamp, thus the Facit 2020 on-cover value of SEK 4000! This example is neatly addressed and has PONCE and SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, backstamps. The cover was roughly opened at upper right resulting in some paper loss on the front, but it is very attractive and remarkably scarce. |

29 [1903 2 cent Coat of Arms] (VF) solo use on 31 March 1904 picture post card (lithographed photo of Black Beard Castle / tower) from ST. THOMAS to the U.S. with LANCASTER, PA., receiving machine postmark. The card has a small crease and a sealed tear near (but not affecting!) the stamp. The card, being pre-1907, has an undivided back, and is without any publisher information. This stamp is scarce on cover/card; 2018 Facit value is SEK 1800 (11/2018 $230)! Very attractive! |
