Item Description

Intricate Revenue stamps feature the rich detail and historical importance of classic U.S. stamps for a fraction of the price.
When the Civil War erupted in 1861, the country was on the verge of bankruptcy. A plan was developed to generate internal revenue - money collected from taxes placed on domestic items such as tobacco, alcohol, medicine, perfume and playing cards. Stamps were provided as proof of payment. Examining used U.S. Revenue stamps offers a window into the past - the government required several unusual cancellation techniques such as private cancels, manuscript initials and perforated initials. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
