FREE: Very Old US Documentary stamp from 1898, 1/2c gray

The listing, Very Old US Documentary stamp from 1898, 1/2c gray has ended.

Up for bids here is a very old US stamp-- this is a 1/2c dark gray Documentary stamp from 1898. I think it is Scott catalog number R162. It is in USED condition with with a New Year's Day 1899 ink cancel-- seems quite nice for such an old stamp.

*** GENERAL INFORMATION ***
******************************************

This week I am listing some very old stamps from the USA including some quite valuable ones, so DO have a look! My stepdad (who passed a few years back) accumulated stamps, and this is from his collection-- although it's more like a giant pile of messy album pages and envelopes. I don't know much about US stamps so I'll describe them as best I can.

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. Postage is FREE to the USA, which (at current rates) is worth quite a bit, by itself!

OFFICIAL LISTIA ADDRESSES ONLY! No private email stuff, no "can you send it to Aunt Edna in Lower Taco Flats instead" stuff and so on. If I don't have your official address within 7 days of auction end, I will keep the points and relist the item, as per Listia rules!

Thanks for your interest, and good luck!
