I see that this stamp has a hand written cancel. Can anyone tell me something about this. Also condition and value of stamp? does the hand written cancel add value?
Thanks Big Ed

It's a US Revenue Stamp. I believe it is Scott #R137. 2011 Scott Catalog Value is $0.35. Manuscript (pen) cancels are very common on Revenue Stamps.

Some actively collect pen/manuscript cancels (like myself) but it's been said that pen cancels actually detract from the value although I tend to disagree so I suppose it goes back to what you enjoy seeing in your collection.

Right now I am looking at a lot of stamps, about (5000). My brother sent them to me. I have old and new. U. S. and world. I know I am going to collect wildlife. I already have started a good duck stamp collection. I have birds, and other animal stamps. Doing some topicals. and I have one album of pre-1960. I am a little over whelmed, but having lots of fun.
Thanks for the feed back.
Big Ed
