Wow! I have seen very few covers that were so very busy, and nice 7¢ KGV registered rate cover.
I'd love to buy this one, but it is a little pricey for me.
If you were going for the Minnesota back stamps, you could probably get them on a less expensive cover.
what is the initial posting date? it looks like August 14, 1914. Is that correct? or earlier?
The first war starts August 1
Has an RPO cancel on the back too. I bet that helps drive up the value of it.
My money is on a "No sale". 7c Admiral registered covers are not uncommon. I admit it is unusual and attractive, but I don't think the redirections will enhance the value that much. I think it would move in the $25-35 range, but not at double that --- but I have been known to be wrong!
David, I think the date is Aug 11... it got to the first destination in Saskatchewan on Aug 13.

I like busy covers like that. It is way out of my price range too. I have only spent more than $50 for a cover a few times, and if my wife is out there that was a typo honey, I meant 50 cents. Whew!
I found this on a postal history auction site that I follow. I'm kind of borrowing the image. I thought you'd enjoy it. If you are interested in bidding let me know by IM and I'll give you the details. The bidding starts at $60.
