I was reading back thru some older posts and came across this one made by nr-notrare which I feel is worth bringing back up.
I hope you don't mind me using it again, nr-notrare.
"Collecting the varieties of issues can enhance your collecting experience and can be well worth the effort. This stamp from the "flag over" series is one such issue that provides something extra for the collector that explores varieties.
In this group, "Flag Over Rushmore"
#2523 is worth 65 cents mint, 20 cents used.
#2523b imperf pair is worth $20.00, mint ones are abundant, used scarce. (no value given)
#2523c Toledo Brown (color error) is worth $10.00 per pair, mint are abundant, used extremely scarce. (no value given)
#2523d lenz paper is worth $5.00 mint, used scarce. (no value given)
#2523A Photogravure is worth 65 cents mint, used 20 cents.
Scott Cat makes no mention of a value for any of these on cover, but I have been searching for these issues on cover since they were issued in 1991 and I have seen exactly two Toledo Browns on cover, 18 years and I've seen two, and I have never seen a used single offered anywhere. I believe the Imperf, lenz paper and Toledo Brown on cover will be 'sleeper issues' that in time will turn out to be worth a fair amount. If you find them on cover hang on to them."
I think the "
On Cover" and
EXTREMELY SCARCE part of this is very interesting, especially since I saw one recently on ebay--
Toledo Brown on cover selling for $999! I never tuned back in to
ebay to see what it actually sold for, but I bet it went high!
Thanks!
