FREE: Valuable Old US 5c Stamp from 1879 with Zachary Taylor

The listing, Valuable Old US 5c Stamp from 1879 with Zachary Taylor has ended.

Here's a VERY old US stamp-- it's a 5c blue with Zachary Taylor, I *think* it is Scott number 185 from 1879, although I am NOT an expert on US stamps. It is in used condition with an interesting circular postmark; the perforations are not in perfect condition and back has a small fault too, but reasonable for such an old stamp. It's a pretty good one, too, with a Scott's catalogue value of $17.50!

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!
