Saleem,
Whoah! Lovely cover. That pays the 1.5 ounce rate in effect from 2.3.91-7.9.95; rates were calcculated in 1/2 ounce steps. and, for Americans at least, to an exotic destination.

Thanks for the help David. Appreciate the quick confirmation of rate. I am still looking for solo proper use on cover for this $1 stamp - it may be paying double the 1/2 oz. rate when used as single on cover during the time period you mentioned. But till that time this is the best I can add to my 'above letter rate usage' collection of US issues.
triple weights are as elusive as single usages. yes, double 50c rate is only proper solo usage.
i think it's a fabulous cover, Saleem
Wasn't sure that triple weights were elusive till you mentioned it
But my whole collection is build around solo usages so the search will continue.
Here's another one I got recently:
nice non=philatelic usage
This is the closest I could come to the $1 Eagle and Olympic Rings used on commercial cover. The cover is postmarked 10th July 1992, has a total of $1.34 postage and is of Greeting card size - the confusing bit is postage. Was this the rate of double/triple international airmail letter or the letter size/thickness has anything to do with it? Here's this pic
re: Information on rate needed for this cover please.
