Philatelic memorial cover

 

Philatelic memorial cover for President Kennedy, with the three previous assassinated Presidents.

 

 

I like this cover because it shows the resourcefulness and creativity of philately used to honor a spontaneous event.  The stamps used for this mailing are #’s 555, 558, & 559.  They would be catalogued at $60 - $70 mint, but the used value is less than $5.  Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley are the previous Presidents of the U.S. to have been assassinated.
