Five first-day Virgin Islands covers dated Dec. 15, 1937, two with four stamps, three with one stamp, est. value $100
Three 1903 St. Thomas bisect stamped covers, dated Jan. 21, Jan. 23 and April 27, extremely rare finds. On Jan. 1, 1902, domestic letters and foreign postcards went from 3 cents to 2 cents; however, the Danish West Indies never had 2-cent stamps, so the 4-cent stamps were used for five months, from Jan. 20 to May 23, 1902, until 2-cent stamps arrived, est. value $150-$200
