Special Printings Stamps

We've contacted the American philatelic society, which I am a member of, and the Philatelic Society, and Mr Crowe, which didn't even want to look at them when he saw I knew what I was talking about. The only question I'm asking is what do they charge to certify a special printing, with no book price, no fair market value. These stamps do look rough but remember they've been kicked around for 100 years. These stamps were used early with very little value at the time. I just want to get one certified so I can get it in the book that it's been found. Can anyone here help me with this?

Rogerblades --- save your money, they are COMMON and damaged.

why did I even waste my time replying?
Just looked at page 1 - you claim 19 special printings.....
I know a guy selling a bridge....you interested?

Has it occurred to you to ask them?

Roger - Sorry to be blunt but there is absolutely zero chance that any of your stamps are Special printings. Taker your five cent Zachary Taylor for example. The Scott numbers for the two Special Printings are 181 and 204. Siegel maintains a census. There are only a handful of each known and none are used. The 181 sells for about $500,000.

Don't take my word for it. Take a look at the Seigel census:

If you continue with this delusion, I suggest everyone ignore this thread because something is "off" about this entire discussion.

I don't know the exact fees for certifying a special printing, but I'd recommend checking the American Philatelic Society's website for a clear breakdown of their certification process and costs.

As stated above, these have zero chance of being special printings. No matter how hard you want them to be. The PF will certify them for $27 plus shipping if you want to waste your money.

That's $27 EACH.

Roger, I will buy you a steak dinner if Mr Crowe confirms this assertion here (that you have *any* genuine special printings or that you know what you are talking about).

I agree with Rogdcam, it's time to put this thread out of its misery.

Unfortunately, I agree with John Becker. Neither the forum nor the OP stand to benefit further.

I cant add anything about special printings etc., but have one question. Reviewing the Philatelic Foundation price list shown on the previous page their charge is between $27.00 minimum and $1,000.00 maximum for each stamp. So for the OP possible charges could be between 19 at 27 each ($513) and 19,000. Doesn't this answer the OP's original question or am I missing something?

I think the OP is looking for further insight on the pricing. Only the PF and APEX can articulate where on the spectrum those charges might land.
