FREE: Very old US 8c stamp from 1895 with William T. Sherman

The listing, Very old US 8c stamp from 1895 with William T. Sherman has ended.

Up for auction is another really old US stamp-- it's a 8c violet brown with William T. Sherman, I believe it is Scott number 272 from 1895. WITH watermark. It is in used condition with what seems like a fairly typical postmark for the time period. No obvious faults that I could see. This is a somewhat "better" stamp with a Scott value of $2.75.

*** IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! ***
**************************************************

This week I am listing a HUGE lot of older stamps from the USA including some quite valuable ones, so DO have a look! There are some stamps here with catalog values to $50.00 and more-- in total, several THOUSAND DOLLARS' worth of stamps! Lots of "better" stuff here that you just don't see on Listia very often. If you win multiple bids, they will be sent together.

Here's the bigger scoop: My mom and stepdad both passed away a few years ago, and I've been going through some of their old stuff-- they were both dedicated "savers" of everything. In some ways, I guess they were borderline "hoarders." My stepdad accumulated stamps, and this is from his collection-- although it's more like a giant pile of messy album pages and envelopes.

I think people should have fun bidding on stuff-- that's what auctions are all about! So the starting bids for my stuff will always be is FIVE credits, and we go from there, no matter HOW valuable something might be.
