If I was you, I would not think of asking $35,000 for a stamp that is not certified.

I am not selling the stamp I just saw it on ebay and thought I would point it out. Any possibility it could be real? |

Well, theoretically, it's possible, but....the special printings were on sale at the same time that stamp was on sale at the local post office, but the special printing had to be procured from the office of the 3rd assistant postmaster in Washington DC, either by mail or in person. |

The chances that this is a genuine 176 are extremely slim to none. It does not look like the right color, and the great majority of these special printing examples show evidence of scissor separation. |

I am pretty sure that he is posting as a way of marketing his listing. No one on earth would spend that kind of money based upon a uncertified stamp from a questionable seller. ('Questionable' based upon this thread and his denial that this is not his listing when actually it is.) |

ErrorsRock, you should put that seller on your "exclude" list. Virtually everything he/she has listed is misdescribed (undescribed faults) or misidentified. The 30c stamp listed is a faulty Scott 190, worth about $10. |
