Item Description

Nicely centered, very light, black-inked, horizontal, widely spaced, broken-up, wavy line cancel over the whole stamp, however, the lightness of the cancel and its wide interval feature leaves the main image mostly clear, good perforations, the stamp was removed from its mailing envelope using the Bestine solvent and placed on a piece of black card stock for an attractive and uniform album appearance for these non-water soluble issued self adhesive stamps; centering, year and source coding, image clear cancel, and mounting warrants a selling price premium. This is not a 'bait-and-switch' offer. The stamp you see will be the stamp you receive.

Please review my terms of sale. If you are not ordering from the United States, there is a $US1.55 additional postage expense that needs to be added to the price of the stamp. If you are ordering from the United States, there is only a $US0.68 added postage expense. Also, if you make additional purchases from my offerings, they can all go in one mailing at no extra shipping expense for the added purchases. I will send the purchase by US first class mail, since the relatively low value of the stamp does not warrant signature or tracking mail. Hence the buyer assumes risk of loss or non-delivery. I will keep a scan of my mailing to verify that the correct mailing address was used.

By way of reference, I am an American Philatelic Society member (195176) and an American Stamp Dealers Association (ASDA) member. Thank you for looking, and I hope this is the perfect stamp to fill that gap in your collection.
