#RS302 - Modified Stamp, See Below for Details, Sound, No Flaws, Catalog: ?
Someone, at the time of the United States war with Spain in 1898-99, decided to modify the "Genuine Sanmetto" stamp with the word "Victory" replacing "Two- and One-Half Cents" at the top and "United States War Spain Scar" instead of "United States Internal Revenue" at bottom. The modified stamp is attached to a square decorated paper with rounded corners.
Highly Unusual and a great addition to a Medicine Stamp collection!
PLEASE READ: When I collected Match & Medicine stamps, I purchased the best that I could find and afford! Check these out! They are in need of a serious collector of these types of stamps! Stay tuned for the Medicine stamps!
Any REASONABLE Offer will be accepted. "REASONABLE" being the operative word!!
ATTENTION: I will be listing many, many more better stamps as often as time and health permits, so please check back at my store daily for new listings! I am eliminating the vast majority of my collection which has many different categories of US stamps (Regular & BOB Issues) and better quality First Day Covers!
I am a 70-year-old (Just had another birthday! They seem to be coming a lot faster now for some reason!) retired collector that has been collecting stamps on and off since I was 18 years old and, as you might imagine, I have accumulated a lot of stamps. I am selling off selected items from my collection, so please keep an eye out for new listings!
I am attempting to raise money as my wife of 39 years is currently going through chemotherapy and, as such our spendable income is drying up fast!
Please examine scan carefully! I typically do not scan the back of a stamp if there is nothing of significance to see. Any flaws will be noted if any are identified on the stamp!
I am extremely conservative when grading stamps so if you disagree with my assessment, please let me know as I am always interested to learn more!
PLEASE NOTE: International buyers should wait to be invoiced as shipping costs will vary based on destination!
