Hi all,

Looking for some feedback on this guy that I found in a very nice collection I purchased. Scott's says this must have vertical threads (which this does) and 4 clear margins to obtain the $1100 catalog value.

Am I missing something or have I correctly identified? Any comments would be most helpful.

The cancellation looks plausible. Could be great find.

It's real, I'm sure. Sorry, just don't expect this to be worth $1100. If the embossing splits the paper, and it looks like it has done that quite a bit, then it's a good-looking stamp with faults. Small hinge thin also. This is still worth some money.

I suggest not trying to soak the hinge off. It could make the split worse as it dries.

thanks rdavid and hy-brazil, I appreciate the feedback. No expectation of $1100 for this guy. The embossing has split in a few places and hinge thin makes this less desirable but still nice. I may throw this on ebay since I don't collect this issue and see where it goes unless there is interest on this board :):)
