Item Description

United States, Scott #5800d, used(o), 2023, Waterfall Set, stamp shows the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River in the Yellowstone Park, Wyoming from a photograph by Kenneth Keifer, professional photographer from Indiana; the Lower Falls in the Yellowstone Park is the most famous falls on the river, and following the Old Faithful Geyser, is the second most photographed attraction in the park; the post office issued the 2023 Waterfalls set to showcase a small handful of the 17,000 documented waterfalls in America; each one has something special about it that draws visitors from all walks of life to witness their natural beauty and power; the stamps of the set include small, lesser-known waterfalls like Sunbeam Falls in Washington State as well as huge, worldwide attractions like Niagara Falls in New York; but a waterfall is just tumbling water until you see one, or someone photographs one for you; when you utilize the trained eyes and talents of award-winning nature photographers, who know how to capture colors cast by sunlight or reflections from the surrounding moss, rocks, or fall foliage, and in some cases a rainbow as with this stamp, you have stunning images of nature; issued as a forever stamp in panes of twelve different stamps, each with a counter value of (63 cents), multicolored, serpentine die cut simulated perforations: 10½x10¾ , offset lithography printed by Ashton Potter USA (APU), issued with non-water soluble gum, Scott 2025 Catalog Value: 50¢, slightly off-centered (very fine), light horizontal, black-inked, wavy line cancellation across the top half of the stamp and well into the main image, stamp has a damaged and creased lower right corner that has been pressed-down and smoothed out on the back cardstock to provide a good appearance, but it is damaged, hence price considered, 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; mounting and unique demand for one of twelve scarce stamps in the issue, warrants a selling price premium; but damaged corner calls for an adjustment, so a wash. 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 $US1.55 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.
