These bargain-priced stamps are attractive, but may have hidden flaws. Some have no defects at all, but the price is lower simply because of the centering. Unlike some dealers who might not pay attention to and lower the price for such situations, I describe the stamps completely and I set prices accordingly. You can save a tremendous amount of money when you add such stamps to your collection. Each stamp is one of a kind, so please let me know if I may substitute a different example (that looks as good or better, for about the same cost) if the stamp you order has sold. If you have any doubts, all these stamps can be available for viewing on approval. Regardless, you may always return stamps if you are not completely satisfied. If you are seeking any other U.S. stamps of this quality and price level, just send along your want list -- I will be happy to send bargains on approval. Scott numbers have been used unless otherwise stated.

Scott #307 Pale Red Brown [1903 10c red brown (shades) Webster] Mint with Fine centering, but with heavy hinge remnant. The main Scott listing for this stamp is for Pale Red Brown, but this example is more pale than any other of the dozens of mint or used examples in my stock. That also results in a highly detailed engraving impression. A very attractive example of a stamp that can be quite hard to find with centering better than this. (Scott 2026 value is $60.)
