Sweet old coin stamps...

Received a package last week shipped to me with these old stamps & thought I'd share them here.

The 4 stamps together measure 3" x 2 1/2"

    I've got a couple unused blocks of these. Very neat. Still looking for the Priority rate issue with the St. Gaudens double eagle.

  • Yipes!!! What do you consider old? These were issued in 1975

    The one on the left is Scott # 1577 Un .25 U .20
    The one on the right Scott # 1578 Un .25 U .20

    Together Scott # 1578a Un .50 U .40

    The two different color ommission errors are catalogued at $2K plus.

    It won't be hard to find you a few Un if you want them. As a matter of fact, sheets aren't unheard of.

    I remember this set. Only the year before had I begun collecting coins and stamps. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a plate block at the post office.

    Those I would certainly save if I got them in the mail. Thanks for sharing them with us!

    The plate blocks are catalogued at $1.20. You should be able to get one for under $5.

    If anybody is interested, there is also a I.H. penny on a 13C stamp. Scott nr. 1734

    Yep, and it's an 1877 too:

    Probably about the closest I'll get to ever owning the real thing...

    I never thought that growing old would happen so fast.

    Right-click on the box and then "view image". Apparently the link is broken. It was on a Comcast web page.
