Item Description

The French Postal System of the 19th Century used numeric cancellations to indicate the source of mail. Each village and town had their own respective numeric identifier though the number 702 was in use by Calvi, France. The French cancellations are striking in their intricate grid diamond (and stars for some) design with the larger number contained within. The cancellation is the focus of this listing.

Most, if not all stamps (especially 19th Century issues) listed are dipped and checked for faults, and reviewed under a digital microscope and a high-powered UV light to verify no gum stamps are mint and not just "washed." Also, have a handy, extensive philatelic reference library. If there is something in question, a colleague/friend who certifies U.S. material for the Philatelic Foundation, PSAG, and APEX, and will proffer his opinion, too.
