Too Much Cancellation?

I recently obtained, what I believe to be, a genuine, canceled Scott 67. Looking at the pictures, would you be able to tell if there is too much of the cancellation imprint, such that would make the stamp unwanted or of no value. Your opinions are very much appreciated.

It all depends. If one collects cancels this is a beauty - I still think the stamp is pretty no matter what!

This U.S. fancy cancellation is known as a "Circle of Wedges" and is a very nice s.o.n. (socked-on-the-nose) example.

With the caveat that color determination is very difficult on a computer monitor, this does not look like one of the buff-like shades to me. Looks more like a 75 or 76.

Not 67, this is 75 or 76 (more likely)

I agree with Rhett and Chasa. It is very doubtful that this is a 67. Either a 75 or 76.

Correction, I went back and looked at the sale slip and it does in fact say Scott 76. I guess my German brain transposed the two digits. Happens occasionally. But what about the cancellation? Would a collector consider this a fault? Any views in that direction are appreciated.

Pete, did you not read Hal's and my opinion?

Peter

Peter,
I did. Unfortunately I am not familiar with the terms that Hal used. I do appreciate his comments very much though. I also appreciate your comment, however I am not a collector of cancellations and only purchased the stamp for a good price (I think). Since I do not plan on keeping the stamp, I naturally was wondering if it had any value to speak of. To all, thank you very much, and perhaps someone could give me a clue what this stamp may be worth.

cancellations that have recognizable patterns are generally ok - can be even desirable. Definitely not "too much cancel"

It's a very nice cancel. A collector who wants only "face-free" cancels might not be interested in this particular stamp, but that does not detract from the value (which will depend on whether the stamp has faults or not).

I think it's a lovely stamp! The perfs look sound but there'll be people here far better qualified than me to comment on any reperfing issues. Is there any evidence of thinning or damage on the back?

Not my area, being front-of-book, but as a cancel collector, I would actually consider this cancel as a positive. Yes, it's heavy, but it's a crisp non-smudged strike.

I certainly wouldn't consider it a detriment.

Very nice stamp and cancellation. This is a good thing.

Sorry, I just now got to this. I want to thank everybody that took the time to give me their opinions. As someone who has no clue about, what revenuecollector calls,front-of-book stamps, it is important to get other collectors opinion in order to learn as much as possible.
Thanks again,
Pete

Front of book = regular postage stamps, back of book = other that regular postage such as air mail, revenue, booklet panes etc.
