More What Are These?

Here are some more I have come across. She bought them from an auction (i am assuming) because it is in a plastic page that says "to successful bidder" at the bottom. Thanks everyone! Literally brain and/or life savers!

The third picture posted does have a grill on it

The 90 cent stamp likely has one as well (small G grill).

yes it does...you are totally correct

All I can say is "wow". These are not normally found in inherited or rummage sale collections.

I will start from the bottom stamp and work upwards.

The final stamp is a Scott 122, 90c Lincoln, from 1869. Catalogue value in VF condition is $2500.

Second from the bottom is a Scott #75 from 1862, 5c Jefferson, red brown, catalogue value $600

Third stamp from bottom is a Scott #76 from 1863, 5c Jefferson, Brown, catalogue value $150

The fourth stamp from the bottom appears to have a grill making it either (most likely) an 86 or 92 from 1868, and has a catalogue value of $575.

The 15c Lincoln stamp is either a 77, 91, or 98. Depends on whether or not it is grilled and what type of grill. Catalogue values vary.

Please handle these with care!

Thank you!

the 15c lincoln does have a grill, under magnification it has 17 up and 14 across with a vertical ridge

With that grill it sounds like Scott #91. CV $650.

Thank You!

Nice stamps. I sure could add several to holes in my collection. As for catalog value, keep in mind that the high values given would not apply to all of your stamps. Centering, faults, heavy cancels or other factors can significantly reduce the catalog value.

Thank you quigngt! I appreciate it!

How do you Guy's get so lucky? All I ever find is plastic grocery bags blowing in my yard from the neighbors.

hahaha..i have found some of those as well!
