Csa Stamps..

SO I underbid by a bunch of money at an online auction.
I wasn't even aware that I had won.
I got a bill today for 35.00 for a CSA #8 (used) and a 12b(used)

here is the image of the #8


I did not expect to win this. the opening bid was $50.00 the stamp has CV of over $300.00

Very nice. That portrait of Jackson is the same as the portrait on the "Black Jack" They would make a nice pair together.

I just won my first Confederate stamps for my A.W.N. collection - $10 for these three. Are they worth it? I really just wanted the middle one. Anyone know the city of the cancel?

O.K. a bit of Googlage indicates it could be Society Hill S.C.

looks like a 12, 11 and 13. that sound right to you?

from what I can tell it has had a post office since 1833.

Yes SV the numbers match with my 1979 US specialized. I was just surprised to get this at $10 with a last minute bid. The cancel looks cool.

that's about right..
my first 4 confeds.. a 6,7,12c and 13 cost me $10.00

Thanks SV

The Cancel on the 11 is very nice.. be sure to check which type it is.. is it a ball and keating or a Archer and Daly.
check out this website, it is very helpful..

Good Website, SV. Thanks.

Yeh thanks for that CSA web link SV. When the lot arrives I will do a mega-scan.

I've still got a CSA #2, #3, #5 and a #9 to collect,I thought I had a #9 until I looked at the thread Daryl posted and realised it wasn't right,I've just double checked my CSA stamps and so far so good,good luck all and by the look of it there are some shifty ones put out there.

some interesting info on the stamps above..
I had sent an email to the seller on Saturday when I got the bill, asking for a reminder of what I bought. I then found them myself, hence the post,. But today the seller emailed me saying they were in the envelope with the bill. I replied they were not, and could they check around as I had already mailed a check. They said they would find them before cashing the check... I hope they do find them..... I would have to wait along time to buy another #8 at that price.

and here they are for your viewing pleasure..

Nice scans. Thanks
" Jackson" hence the icon
of democratic party being a donkey.
I have read on two occaisons that the US Andrew Jackson
stamp is "unbalanced" in its design,
that may be so, but I think it is one of the more
remarkable stamps of the early US, I really like it.

Not sure why that was censored, just another name for a mule
