I was scouring ebay and ran across this awesome looking stamp that is listed as an essay but I have never seen any reference to it anywhere. It is awesome looking though. Monroe Doctrine? ....$1500.?? http://www.ebay.com/itm/148-E1b-VER...em1e6500ea67
These were the Continential Bank Note Co essays for there contract bid of 1873. They were awarded the contract but the designs were not approved. All the essays contained a large numeral in the design. The 6 cent essay were printed with and without the Monroe Doctrine label. 1873 was the 50th anniversary of the Monroe Doctrine.
