FREE: Old US 1c Stamp with George Washington from 1916

The listing, Old US 1c Stamp with George Washington from 1916 has ended.

Here's another old US stamp-- it's a 1c green with a portrait of George Washington. It only has vertical perforations (gauge 10) from a vending machine coil. The curved cut at left is the result of where the vending machine blade cut the stamp, Without watermark, I believe it is Scott's catalogue number 490, issued in 1916. It is in used condition with a very light postmark. Looks to be free of damage.

This week it is ALL older better stamps from the USA.

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.

Thanks for your interest, and good luck!
