I try to get mint with some original gum on numbers below two hundred. But since I did not have $30,000 set aside for this months stamp budget I have been trying to find a nice used one. I finally got a four margin copy with light cancel. When I get home I will post a scan, just could not wait as the search on this one has been awhile. Nice red cancel to boot.

After that, you can send it to me for my expert certification. I'm a little tied down right now, so allow about 30 years for turnaround time...

Dear Sir,

Would gladly use your service as it seems to have half the turn around time as others.

Sincerely,

Gorgeous stamp! I have been in the market for a 12 for some time as well, but I always seem to get outbid. Well done!

What are you talking about! I didn't say sixty years, I just said it would eventually come back to you! (Great stamp nice margins, and if it has to be cancelled, then what you got was a great one) - Jeff

Great color on the cancel, mac. It does not diminish the design

Jeff, would have loved a mint one. But I do need a place to sleep and keep my collection so didn't sell the house and went for the used one.

Hey Mac-- great stamp-- congrats. Any of the Jefferson 5 cent'ers, with perfs or imperf are all tough-- I've got a 29 I've had for years, but haven't ever pulled the trigger on a #12....

1775mac, I envy you on your new acquisition. Since I probably never get one, I just sit back and enjoy yours.
