Scott #183 Light Orange [1879 2c vermilion Jackson, American Banknote Printing, Soft Paper] Mint with F-VF centering, but with hinge remnants and only partial gum remaining. Looks great! An attractive example at a very low price. (Scott 2023 $100.) ACTUAL item. |

Scott #183 Clear Orange [1879 2c vermilion Jackson, American Banknote Printing, Soft Paper] Mint with Fine centering, but regummed. The paper is unusually white. The regumming makes it difficult to determine, but I believe this to be the lower-priced #183 Soft Paper, but it could be the higher-priced #178 Hard Paper. An attractive example at a very low price. (Scott 2023 $100.) ACTUAL item. |

Scott #184 [1879 3c green Washington, American Bank Note, Soft Paper] Mint, no gum, with Average centering. Nice appearance, but just with typical centering. (Scott 2023 $90 with gum and $35 without gum.) ACTUAL item. |

Scott #186 [1879 6c pink Lincoln, American Bank Note, Soft Paper] HORIZONTAL PAIR, Used with F-VF centering. Neat "blob" cancels that leave the front of Lincolns head cancel-free. The left stamp has a faint lower left corner crease and the right stamp has one short perforation at bottom. However, any multiples of this stamp are quite hard to find in perfect condition. Collecting multiples of this design or this broader issue would be an exciting challenge. (Scott 2021 value $50 for a pair.) ACTUAL item. |

Scott #186 [1879 6c pink Lincoln, American Bank Note, Soft Paper] Used with F-VF centering, but with faint and inconsequential thin speck. Outstanding VF++ "A" IN REVERSED COLOR (A is white, background black) SQUARE cancellation. Such nicely canceled examples of this stamp are hard to find, but since it is a light-colored stamp it is very suitable for collecting cancellations -- it would be a fun challenge to build a set of alphabetical cancellations on this stamp! ACTUAL item. |

Scott #189 Red Orange [1879 15c orange Webster, American Bank Note, Soft Paper] Mint with XF or better centering. Gum is original, but is somewhat disturbed and there is a tiny ink spot on the gum (does NOT show through to front). There is a tiny natural inclusion on the right side of the base of the bust; this is typical for the grayish paper that was used for this 15 cent stamp. Wonderful appearance with brilliant color. This stamp is very scarce, especially Mint, with such nice centering. (Scott 2023 for XF/90 is $425.) ACTUAL item. |

Scott #189 Yellow Orange [1879 15c orange Webster, American Bank Note, Soft Paper] Mint with F-VF centering. Tiny pinhole in lower right corner (this is how early dealers displayed their best stamps). The gum does appear to be original, but is somewhat disturbed, and there is a very faint natural crease in the lower right quadrant. The left and maybe the bottom have perhaps been reperforated (which is what I am assuming and how I have priced it), or at least the perf holes have been cleaned out. Despite all that, this is a fresh looking and very reasonable appearing example of a scarce early stamp. (Scott 2023 $180.) ACTUAL item. |

Scott #191 [1879 90c carmine Perry, American Bank Note, Soft Paper] Used with F-VF appearance, but reperforated at top, and some other perforations at right and bottom slightly trimmed (not unusual in how this stamp was used). Strong color and a reasonable example of a stamp that is missing from most collections and which is usually found with quality problems. (Scott 2023 $400.) ACTUAL item. |

Scott #191 [1879 90c carmine Perry, American Bank Note, Soft Paper] Used with Fine centering and bold "REG" registered mail cancellation, but with small defects: one pulled perforation, light crease and tiny tear at top (not visible from front). Typical perforations for this issue. Pleasing color and a reasonable example of a stamp that is missing from most collections and which is usually found with quality problems. (Scott 2023 $400.) ACTUAL item. |
