FREE: Extremely Old US 2c Stamp from 1879

The listing, Extremely Old US 2c Stamp from 1879 has ended.

Here's another VERY old US stamp-- it's a 2c orange-red with a portrait of Andrew Jackson, I *think* it is Scott number 183 from 1879, although I am NOT an expert on US stamps. It is in used condition-- not perfect, but certainly passable for an item so old. If my ID is right, it has a catalogue value of $5.00.

Here's the bigger scoop: My mom and stepdad both passed away over the past couple of years, 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 collected 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.
