Missing $5 Columbian Cover

John Finch, About.com stamps guide, writes on his blog, "A reward can be yours if you find a lost cover with the $5 value of the Columbian stamp of 1893. There is a wanted ad in a recent issue of Linn's Weekly Stamp News soliciting information leading to the valuable philatelic item's whereabouts."

According to John, "The cover went missing after it changed hands at the Westpex Stamp Show in Burlingame, CA. The cover has a value of $15,000, making it an item of postal history with quite a pedigree."

Contact dealer William Langs at wlangs@aol.com if you have any information that might reunite him with the classic cover.
