Hello stamp enthusiasts!
I was looking through an old stamp album and found this stamp. I couldn't identify it, so I went online. I found a handy identifier, and found it to be worth $375 in my catalog. I may have done something wrong however, so please check it for me. If I sell it, it would be embarrassing to sell a 25 cent stamp for $375! Here is the stamp:

Are you saying this is Scotts #595, perf 11, design 19.75 x 22.5 mm?

Need a better image to actually evaluate the stamp. Where it is place on the album page next to a regular issue stamp does not help.

More likely it could be a Rotary Press coil perf 10, 19.75 x 22.25 mm ... #599 or #599A
