FREE: Very old US 2c stamp from 1890 with George Washington

The listing, Very old US 2c stamp from 1890 with George Washington has ended.

Up for bids is another really old US stamp-- it's a 2c rose or pink with George Washington, I believe it is a shade of Scott number 2290 from 1890. It is in used condition with a neat looking "target" cancel. What's interesting about this is the "jump" in perforations on the left side-- the bottom 1/3 is wider at left, suggesting that the pins in the perforator were BENT-- unusual. No faults that I could see. Pretty nice condition for an old stamp!

This week I am listing ALL older stamps from the USA-- 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 accumultaed 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!
