FREE: Very Old US postage stamp, 3c Washington from 1861!

The listing, Very Old US postage stamp, 3c Washington from 1861! has ended.

Up for auction is a REALLY old US stamp-- it's a 3c rose (brownish rose?) George Washington from 1861! I'm not an exprt but as best I can tell, it's a color shade of Scott number 65 so definitely a "better" stamp. It is in used condition with three very faint brown ink lines as the cancel. The back is unmarked and there are no obvious faults that I could see.

This week I am listing MANY older stamps from the USA including some quite valuable ones, so have a look! Also a few better foreign stamps you seldom see. 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!
