The listing, 70 Perfins w/ Prexies, Stock, Documentary, Precancel, Airmail has ended.
For the perfin collector!
Here are over 70 wonderful perfins
Winner receives all 73 perfin stamps. All stamps are USA.
2nd photo center, $2.00 Documentary with STOCK TRANSFER overprinted and perforated! Same photo, 50 cent and 10, both with the same overprint and perf.
Block of 8, 13 cent each with perf, and a big group of 1938 "Prexie" perfins (see 4th photo and 5 & 6th photos are close up views).
There is also two 3 cent commemorative perfins, which I don't see a lot of the long (wide) stamps with perfs, usually they are definitive stamps, though I don't know why?
2 precancel, the buffalo, with Philadelphia Pa. overprint, either from 1923 or 1931 (Scott # 569 or 700). I am no expert but you can research online the difference. And the other precancel perfin is the 3 cent Lincoln shown in the same photo.
2 airmail perfins, 6 cent and 5 cent, same design plus a lot of old president stamps!
What is a Perfin?
The term “perfin” is short for “perforated initials” or “perforated insignia”. Perfins were a control used by companies to prevent theft from the mail room.
What are "Prexie" stamps?
The Presidential Issue, nicknamed the Prexies by collectors, is the series of definitive postage stamps issued in the United States in 1938.
