Many years ago I bought a job lot of US stamps from a smal central London shop just for the fun of sorting, which I never really did. They weren't in good condition and covered the period late 19th century to the 1940s. They've been in a small stockbook ever since. Probably 200 or 300 stamps. I just put some samples of what I think are 19th century issues on a stock card and scanned them. Is there anything here I should have a second look at, or are they all minimum value? I admit I know nothing about US stampsHappy

Danny

others might also have some thoughts. The topleft stamp is likely #65 (that design appeared on a dozen different stamps), which on a good day gets $3-$5. However, the "PAID" might be of extra interest to a cancel collector. I haven't seen one quite like it.

re: Help on US stamps

You can't really nail the stamp down unless you can decide on a color - pink, rose or rose pink. It's the same thing with most of the early US material - GOOD LUCK!! I can remember back in the beginning of our US collection getting a head ache looking at color guides. And then don't forget that colors can fade or oxidize over time.

re: Help on US stamps

Thanks to all. I may make up an approval book(s) with lots of 5 cent US stamps.
