I've identified this stamp as a common #267. I was wondering whether or not a fancy cancel like this one adds any value to this or any other stamp ?

I don't know what the fancy cancel books say about bullseye cancel values but they are very common. Rarely have I seen one bring a higher price than other types of common cancels. On the older classics I have noticed that the number of rings can make a difference in value, but again, this type of cancel is quite common on later classics as well. I have purchased many of the large banknotes with bullseye cancels for a small fraction of catalog value. since I speak only from experience, I hope someone can give a better answer to your question. I, for one, would like to know the correct term and whether or not theses are considered true fancy cancels.

Thanks for the input Marty. I'm really a coin guy but would like to start learning about some of my stamps again.

Hello ellasguy......

Marty is correct.....common stamps and common cancel---not much value.

Less common stamps with a finely struck cancel can add value but again not a lot.

But, these common items can be use to get someone started collecting fancy cancels.

I also collect them just to see how many different ones (size/color/# of rings) I can find on different defins.....my newest are from the Liberty series.
