FREE: Vintage US $1 Lincoln Memorial Stamp from 1923

The listing, Vintage US $1 Lincoln Memorial Stamp from 1923 has ended.

Here's a nice vintage US stamp-- it's a $1 violet-brown with the Lincoln Memorial, Scott number 571 from 1923. It is in used condition--quite nice quality for such an old stamp. The lack of perforations at the bottom is from the natural sheet edge-- that's how old stamps were made. $1 was a LOT of money in 1923, so this is a pretty "high value" stamp, probably used on a heavy parcel.

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.
