Confederate A-6

How do these look to the initiated?

The Scott 2010 catalog (as recommended to me here a few weeks ago), suggests as much as 900.

Looks like an A8 (SC#12) on the left and two A7 (SC#11) on the right. The A6 has a line frame drawn around it.Depending on which blue you have it looks like your #11s are blue therefore $15 each, maybe a little more for a pair, and the #12 might be dark blue $18 (regular blue is also $18).
That's the 2009 Scott's prices. 2010 might be up a little.
Very nice though.


Sorry, my bad. The A6a has the line frame. The A6 has the number 10 written out TEN. Sorry.

the first one is a 12, you can easily tell the difference in the scroll work, on 12's the scrolls are complete and filled in on 11's they are not.
There is also the issue of color, as there are several colors and who printed the stamp...

Yours do look like the common variety of 11 and 12.

I collect Confeds, and have a number of 11's & 12's, I try to get one of each color.

btw..they are worth more used then unused.. and a lot of people go to the trouble of fake cancels... never buy one that is cancelled unless you can identify the cancel or someone identify it for you. Being on piece is much better.. I have a #1 on piece which I like very much.

Thanks! Feel a little dumb not noticing the 10 vs. Ten!

Will put new lawn tractor on hold.

There's a lot to this: colors -- used/unused. Wow.
