Item Description

Available in this offering is a sound MNH VF-XF 85 example of U.S. #C10 with PSE cert 01166793.

A word of caution about stamp grading software: i’ve seen stamp listings popping up recently with “certificates” that purport to assign a grade to a stamp for sale. It is important to note that these are not certificates of authenticity. In fact, none of the “certificates” i have seen so far even list the scott catalog number and with good reason: the software developer does not want to be liable for their licensees’ possible misidentification of the graded stamp. There is much more to true stamp grading than centering. The first step in the process actually has nothing to do with centering at all. The first step is verifying that the stamp is genuine and correctly identified. It also has to be thoroughly examined for flaws, which may have an impact on the resulting grade. Therefore, it should also be understood that grades assigned by a software program may not necessarily agree with a grade assigned by a qualified expertization service. After all, a software program can’t tell if a stamp is genuine, properly identified, if it has been reperforated, regummed, if it has inclusions, creases or any number of other things that would negatively impact the final grade. So, if you’re only concerned with stamp centering then these programs and the printed documents they generate should do the job. If, on the other hand, you want to ensure that your stamps are properly identified and vetted, then you’ll probably want to stick with the tried-and-true method of human expertization and grading.

A Little About Me and My Commitment to You

I’ve been a regular member of the APS for over 35 years (member ID# 130461) and I’m still a collector more than anything. If you check my feedback history, you will find that not only is it pristine, but that I buy far more than I sell. And one thing that really troubles me are sellers who just throw a stamp up for sale and don’t even take the time to offer a description or a compelling reason why I should want to buy their item. My commitment to you is that I will always provide a thoughtful and truthful commentary on all the relevant aspects of every stamp that I offer for sale/auction. And I will give you the bad as well as the good, though I try not to sell stamps that have problems. So bid/buy with confidence that what you will receive is exactly what I have described and if you feel it is not, that I will make the return process as pleasant as possible. You can also expect an interesting assortment of stamps adorning your shipment--no run-of-the-mill forever stamps or postage meter strips! See photo #4 for a sample of what you can expect.
