Description
The Reeded Edge recently purchased an immense U.S. stamp collection from an advanced lifetime collector. The collection spanned classics to commemoratives with extensive back-of-the-book also represented. Today’s offering will include selections from this collection. Buy with confidence, as we have made every attempt to disclose faults and characteristics of each lot, with a high degree of accuracy. We are also members of the APS (Rob Lehmann) and adhere to their code of ethics. PF, PSE or APEX extensions may be requested for any stamp, but the buyer will bear the costs of certification. With that said this is a SCOTT #369 ON METALLIC EMBOSSED LINCOLN CENTENNIAL POSTCARD, FEB 12, 1909 POSTMARK. IT SHOULD BE NOTED, THAT ALTHOUGH THIS POSTCARD BEARS THE PROPER FIRST DAY CANCEL IS ADDRESSED TO ELIZABETH ILLINOIS AND CANCELLED AT THE SAME PO (ALL APPROPRIATE FOR THE FDC COVER), #369 IS NOT TIED TO THE POSTMARK. ALTHOUGH EVERYTHING POINTS TO THIS COVER BEING ISSUED AND CANCELLED IN CELEBRATION OF THE ISSUANCE OF THE NEW LINCOLN STAMP, IT CAN NOT BE CONCLUSIVELY PROVEN. SCOTT CATALOG FOR A PROPERLY TIED #369 FDC ON A COMMEMORATIVE POSTCARD IS $600. ALL OF THAT ASIDE, THIS POSTCARD IS GORGEOUS AND IS BOTH HISTORICALLY AND PHILATELICALLY IMPORTANT. Our commitment is to provide you with quality coins and collectibles at the best possible prices. This lot is no exception. Please note, the coin and collectibles markets do fluctuate, and prices occasionally will change. In this rare circumstance, we will contact you first to verify
