I just had a question on this stamp. Can you tell me more history on it. I've been trying to research my stamps and found this costing quite a bit, and I wanted to know why. I have 2.

The difference in price is the watermark. Unwatermarked have nominal value. Watermark 181 (wavy lines) are the pricey stamps. Have you dipped these stamps in watermark fluid?

Welcome to Stamp Community Forum!

These 2 violet colored coil stamps came in 2 flavors -- watermarked wavy lines (Scott watermark 181) and unwatermarked. The unwatermarked variety is common. The watermarked stamps have the major premium. Have you checked for the watermark?

(EDIT: redwoodrandy beat me to it! )

No sir I have not tested for a Watermark. I'm so new to this art. Thanks for letting me know.
