Added To My Collection This Week ...

It was a good week for my US collection. I'm starting to feel like I've made real progress towards my goal of collecting all MNH 20th century stamps (minus some notable exceptions). Here's what I purchased:


The only 19th century stamp this week is a Scott #217. Sold as used, with light cancel, it looks unused. Price: $28





Scott 517, MNH, VF+ $67.50





Scott 518, MNH, FVF $37.50




Scott 656, Line Pair, MNH, VF $32.27

Are the 2 Franklins cropped by your scanner ? The fronts show the RHS with what looks to be a scissor cut, but the backs of the items show full perfs. If it's just a scanner crop, great pieces.

I got a mint 1c trans missisippi you might be interested in

You are almost correct, Stallzer :) The pix were merged together and ended up overlapping, making them appear to have straight edges or cuts. The picture of the backs show the stamps correctly.

I have a FVF mint, OG copy but would be interested in a mint, never hinged in VF+ or mint hinged XF+

Rileysan, nice looking and well centered stamps. Good luck in achieving your goal.

Thank you. It feels a little like the story of Sisyphus ... forced for eternity to push a boulder up a hill, only to have it roll back down to the bottom. Alas, I will keep on pushing :)

ill send a scan
