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 Banknote printing] Mint, original gum , with VF centering. Three well balanced large margins, plus an oversized margin at top. Wonderfully fresh appearance with great color, excellent perforations, and very crisp, detailed engraving. Accompanied by a 2003 PSE certificate. (If you wish to yourself obtain a new certificate, of course I guarantee the stamp to be as described. If the new certificate gives a lower opinion, upon return to me of the stamp and the new certificate, I will provide a full refund and pay for the new certificate.) Though not a scarce stamp, mint examples this nice are not often seen these days. (Scott 2021 value $90.) ACTUAL item. |

Scott #184 [1879 3c green Washington, American Bank Note, Soft Paper] Used with XF centering and very faint purple cancel. Almost looks Mint. Wonderful appearance with great perforations and crisp engraving impression. Though not a "scarce" stamp, examples this nice are not very often seen. (Scott 2023 for VF-XF/85 is $15 and for XF-90 is $55.) ACTUAL item. |

Scott #186 [1879 6c pink Lincoln, American Bank Note, Soft Paper] Used with XF centering and very light cancellation. This is what I call a "no excuses" stamp -- it is nothing but the best! While this is not a "scarce" stamp, examples with such nice centering and overall appearance are quite hard to find, as demonstrated by the Scott 2023 value for XF/90 at $100. 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 #188 [1879 (1878) 10c brown Jefferson, With Secret Mark, American Bank Note, Soft Paper] Used with VF centering and fairly light cancellation. The secret mark is faint, but it is there. This is an attractive example of a stamp that is not "scarce", but which can be hard to find with nice centering. (Scott 2023 $30.) 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. |
