Lesser Scaups - Red Fox

Spring 2024 Mail Sale Commentary 

Lot 9 C16021 — Federal Duck Lesser Scam) Duck — Red Fox Variety — 6-30-89

This is one of the most intriguing and desirable lots in the entire sale. If you are missing this cachet variety in your collection, now is one of the few opportunities you will ever have to acquire it. It has the hand painted cachet showing a pair of swimming Lesser Scaup ducks. The bottom line is that only 74 of C16021 exist with the fox cachet and the red fox stamp from the wildlife sheet issue. If you are a duck cover enthusiast, or if you like to seek out the scarcer Collins covers, this one is for you. Since so few covers were produced for each wildlife species, I look for these items to always maintain their \ialue and also to become more difficult to find. If you need the fox, this is a seldom-seen opportunity.
