      This page displays First Day Cover (FDC) Cachets for U.S. Scott #1827-1830 which I purchased in the 1980's or found on the Web since 2018.

      At this time most of the cover scans displayed were found on the Web. I scanned some of my personal collection, noted by "{A}", enough so that there is at least one cachet displayed for every entry. I will scan the rest of my over 200 other #1827-1830 FDCs some other time. "First Cachets" listed but not displayed are pictured in black and white in the Catalog, but I have not seen a color copy of those covers.

41. gp Cachets (Geri Peltin) (with a pasted-on actual King Crab shell collage) (#2 of 5) --- {A}
          Except for a few FDCs made out of Balsa wood, this is my only other 3-D cover.
          Cover scan, the best a flat-bed scanner can do of a 3-D object, two photos and the filler by Geri Peltin explaining how the cover was made. I don't recall who I bought this cover from in 1981. Other than the one saved by the Cachetmaker, which I have not seen, the location of the other three covers is unknown.

          Singles: KMC #60 (100 sets), block: KMC #59 and KMC #59a with #802 (200 total). These cachets are listed and pictured with the Cachetmaker's Catalog Numbers on page 9 of "Catalog of K.M.C. Venture Cachets", by Thomas J. O'Hagan
    
    
    K.M.C. Venture (not listed #1 and #2) (USGS maps cut out and folded into envelopes) (NOT KMC) (Bill Olvey (William J.)) --- {A}
          These cachets are not listed in the "K.M.C. Venture Map Cachets" chapter (p. 132-139) of Thomas J. O'Hagan's book (above)
          The backs have "20/25" and "21/25". I have never seen any other covers like these. So the question is, is this two sets of 25 with two different maps, or one set with 25 different maps?
