Item Description

United States, Scott #5296, used(o), 2018, The Head from the Statue of Freedom atop the US Capitol Dome, $2.00, offset lithography and intaglio engraved by the Banknote Corporation of America (BCA), serpentine die cut simulated perforations: 10¾x10½, issued on panes with non-water soluble self-adhesive gum, ‘USPS’ in stamp-color microprint on Freedom's left shoulder, and ‘two’ repeated five times in microprint above the vertical ‘dollars’ lettering at the right, indigo, reddish pink, and black, Scott 2025 Catalog Value $1.00; nicely centered (superb), very light and very large, quarter circular, black-inked, single-rimmed, blurred, broken-up, and hollowed-out, socked-on-the-nose corner cancel centered at the lower right but extending back and up over the right half of the stamp, however the lightness of the cancel, its broken-up, blurred, and hollowed-out effects, and its right-side orientation leave the main image largely clear, good perforations, stamp was lifted from its mailing envelope using the Bestine solvent and placed on a piece of black trimmed card stock for an attractive and uniform album appearance; centering, mounting, and largely image clear cancel warrants 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 $US1.65 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 $US0.73 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.
