Item Description

Mint Never Hinged, No Flaws

Hello!

This auction is for MINT NEVER HINGED Fine-Very Fine PRECANCELED Sheet Stamp Singles of the 11c Airmail stamps, Scott C78b. Both types of C78b Precancels (Precancel Stamp Society type 71 and 81) are included-- "WASHINGTON DC" and WASHINGTON D.C."--one with periods after "D" and "C", and one without.

The 2022 Scott catalogue states "No. C78b Bureau Precanceled "WASHINGTON D.C." (or "DC"-more valuable thus), No. C79b "WASHINGTON DC" only; both for use of Congressmen, but available to any permit holder."

The 2022 Scott Mint Never hinged catalogue value for C78b type 71 is $0.85. No catalogue value is given for the scarcer C78b Type 81. The 2020 (most recent) Precancel Stamp Society Bureau Precancel catalog lists the value of a USED copy of C78b Type 81 as $2.00--8 times the value of type 71. These Stamps are not commonly found with mint never hinged original gum.

These stamps are in excellent condition--the gum has no skips or fingerprints, and there are no flaws. The above scan is a stock scan....the stamps you will receive will be similar or better.
