FREE: Old US stamp, 2c carmine with George Washington from 1895

The listing, Old US stamp, 2c carmine with George Washington from 1895 has ended.

Up for auction is another very old US stamp-- it's a 2c deep carmine with George Washington. It has a watermark, so it is a shade of Scott number 267 from 1895. This stamp comes in a lot of different color variations, and I am NOT an expert on that, sorry! It is in used condition with a fairly light postmark for that time period -- a very nice and fresh looking stamp, considering its age, no obvious faults I could see.

This week I am listing ALL older stamps from the USA including some quite valuable ones, so have a look! And 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 accumulated 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.

OFFICIAL LISTIA ADDRESSES ONLY! No private email stuff, no "can you send it here instead" stuff and so on.

Thanks for your interest, and good luck!
