$1 Sheet Stamp - Most On Cover
Currently, the largest known number of the $1 sheet stamp on cover, parcel piece, or tag is: 74.
Description: Package front dated December 12, 1951 bearing seventy-four $1 Prexies, along with two 4¢, and four 10¢ Prexies. According to the lot description, originally, there was a total of $84.48 in postage but, at some point, 10 of the $1 stamps were removed, probably when they were clipped from the package. They may have been wrapped around the right side of the package, which would explain why the eight $1 stamps and two 10¢ stamps on the right are trimmed.
