What do you mean got the hour right? The cancel is Nov 18th 1918, the hour has nothing to with it, other than noting the hour it was cancelled.
I did not put arrows onn, didn't think it was necessary. I should have put arrows on the "15" and the "C" in the wavely line part of the cancel!
you know, you're right.
I was seeing what I thought was there, not what is. I thought it was cancelled armistice day and at 11 o'clock, giving it the eleven trifecta. I was mistaken. it's just a day and hour.
just goes to show that we sometimes (often) don't see what's there, but what we expect.

United States of America, Scott number 530
EFO see "C" of cents
See scans and arrow
close up and arrow
Also see cancel date!
