Hi everyone!

I'm a philatelist from Brazil and in a review of my collection I may found a rare america stamp. If its really rare, I need some help to sell. Can anyone help?
Here are the photos (bad resolution, thanks to my old ipad). I can take some good pictures if its necessary.

Thanks!

Hi Samsoa and welcome to the forum. Unfortunately, you do not have a coil stamp there. It is a Scott 300 or one used copy from a Booklet pane. A coil stamp would have a straight edge on opposing sides and would have to be certified as it would be easy just to trim off the sides to simulate one. Please stay around and post some other examples.

Hi Partime! So there is no significant value to this stamp?

No, sorry. The value for a good, used stamp is US$0.25. However, the cut perforations on the right bottom drop the value to, effectively, nothing.

Why not post some of your Brazilian stamps so that we can see older and modern issues?

Welcome to the forum, Samsoa. I just wanted to confirm what Partime already stated - this stamp is a #300. Cheers!
