Item Description

United States, Scott #5257, used(o), 2018, 19th Issue of the American Landmark Series; stamp shows the Byodo-In Temple in the Valley of Temples, a memorial park located on the eastern side of the island of O'ahu at the foot of the Ko'olau mountains near the town of Kãne'ohe in Hawaii; the temple is a smaller concrete version of the wooden temple in Uji, Japan; the temple was built in 1968 to honor the centenary of the first Japanese immigrants to settle in the islands of Hawaii, $6.70, lithography, issued with non-water soluble self adhesive gum, serpentine die cut simulated perforations: 10¾x10½, multicolored, Scott 2019 Catalog Value: not listed, nicely centered, large, light, quarter circular, red-inked, double-rimmed, socked-on-the-nose corner cancellation on the lower left and largely clear of the main image, stamp has a surface wrinkle across the lower left corner of the stamp caused when the customer incorrectly removed the stamp from its purchased pane, hence discounted, however wrinkle only shows in an off-light, good perforations, stamp was lifted from the mailing envelope using the Bestine solvent and placed on a piece of black trimmed card stock for an attractive album mounting; centering, mounting, and mostly image free cancel warrant a selling price premium. This is not a 'bait-and-switch;' the stamp you see will be the one you receive.

Please review my terms of sale. If you are not ordering from the United States, there is a $US1.45 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 $US0.63 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.
