FREE: Very Old US 3c Stamp from 1870 with George Washington

The listing, Very Old US 3c Stamp from 1870 with George Washington has ended.

Here's a VERY old US stamp-- it's a 3c green with Geroge Washington, I *think* it is Scott number 147 from 1870-- it does not appear to have the "secret mark," and it's NOT the re-engraved version, but you can click to see the larger picture for yourself. It is in EXCEPTIONALLY nice used condition with a light postmark; the kind of quality "serious" stamp collectors pay dearly to get a hold of. It has a catalogue value of $2.00, although in this condition probably much more-- but I am not an expert.

This week it is ALL older better stamps from the USA.

Here's the bigger scoop: My mom and stepdad both passed away over the past couple of years, and I've been going through some of their old stuff-- they were both dedicated "savers" of everything. In some ways, I guess they were borderline "hoarders." My stepdad collected stamps, and this is from his collection-- although it's more like a giant pile of messy album pages and envelopes.

I think people should have fun bidding on stuff-- that's what auctions are all about! So the starting bids for my stuff will always be is FIVE credits, and we go from there, no matter HOW valuable something might be.

Thanks for your interest, and good luck!
