VERY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL 25-CENT RED VIRGINIA CITY PONY COVER WITH TWO BOLD STRIKES OF THE WELLS FARGO VIRGINIA CITY DATESTAMP.

Most of the 25c Red covers originate from the famous Crittenden correspondence. This cover, from the Shattuck correspondence, was off the market for more than 60 years before emerging in our 2013 Rarities sale.
