Could This Be A Clerical Error?

*** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***
Just curious if I'm missing something here? Just got these items back and PSE declared the value at a fairly large number for these two items???

Any insight into this situation would help us greatly. Thank you kindly:}

What, the declared value too low?

Show the certificate for the single on postcard. And since you are going to that trouble, include the envelop cert as well. Why did you send the envelope in?

(Edit: I may later post, "your answer is in the card." But they must have given the cover a buck.)

Parcelpostguy. I like you ha

Well I sent the envelope in because I like it. I find it interesting.

A wild theory would be that the single stamp cover was considered the bottom left stamp of a booklet pane from a 300b pane. A full 300b pane on cover is, I think, valued at $11'500 in Scott. So some genius at PSE (they are not the sharpest knives in the drawer) simply took that value which brings it to $11'501 if they value the other cover wiith $1.

Single 300b stamps on cover are not that scarce, they bring a few $ (problem is to not mistake the sheet stamps from the bottom left of a regular pane for the booklet single). A connected 300b pair on cover might bring a few dozen $. Only a complete pane with tab would (on a good day) bring the $11'500 (I think there are about 2 or 3 known).

re 300:
What were you hoping for by sending this in? A booklet single?
The press sheet layout for the booklet vs its guide lines and cutting geometry means that the horizontal guideline on booklets is perforated on booklet panes. Your guideline is a straight edge, thus it can only be from a pane of 100. Also the booklets were printed with the paper turned 90 degrees, so the height/width ratio of the printed image is slightly different for booklet (shorter/wider) vs sheet stamps (taller/narrower). So the text on the certificate is correct.

I agree, the accompanying letter has a value error (by you or them). You should be paying the minimum fee for these.

How did PSE get an extrapolated value tied to a single 300 from the value for a 300b pane? The certificate does not mention or allude to 300b.

Clerical error.

Hanman, you are posting in Canadian Stamps and Covers Forum.
Can you please have your posts relocated were they belong?
Thanks

So.... the one cent Washington is now a #632?

At least one of them is, but note the Cert's Scott numbers were listed in ascending order, not how they were affixed.

The one cent wash is a 498 with natural lines right and bottom

The cert has listed the order of A155s affixed

If we read from left to right that would be what I mean ha. I'm learning as fixation ha
