Hello, I came across this on my collection, but I am lacking information to help me identify. The two stamps are in a sealed plastic insert, unperforated, and read Confederate States of America, ten cents. I would be grateful for help to identify, and as well if anyone can suggest a good resource to identify Confederate stamps... Thank you!
This looks to be the design of CSA Scott #2 or #5 with a color closer to #2 but the Confederate area is known for a lot of fakes and proofs so you would need a Confederate expert, which I am not, to opine on this. Both stamps appear to be significantly damaged.
Thanks I really appreciate the link above. For some reason I was unable to find info on my own, and my Scott Catalog is on loan at the moment... I try to research on my own before asking, and really appreciate the responses. Best regards!
Upon further inspection, my embarrassing discovery... Facsimile 201 is printed. I have learned a lot today, but most of all I will remember to look more closely before calling in the experts. Thanks to all and my apologies for the hasty post.
