Item Description

This listing is for a really nice, used, Scott 1 – the 5c Franklin stamp of 1847.  This is the first issue stamp that everyone needs to have in his or her collection.  It is a very well-centered, 4 margin stamp with a pen cancel.  It is an exceptionally clean stamp both front and back – a beauty!  The scans show the best description for this lot.  Please view scans for details.  The Scott Catalog value for this lot is $250.00.    This lot will make an excellent addition to anyone’s collection. Buyer will pay within 3 days of purchase.   There are two different shipping options available for this lot: Option #1 - Shipping charge will be $1.75 for this lot to stateside addresses and will be sent via 1st class mail WITHOUT A TRACKING NUMBER AND AT YOUR RISK. Option #2 – Shipping charge will be $4.99 for this lot and will include a tracking number. I am giving you this option to allow for cheaper S&H, if you are like most buyers.  And if you would rather have tracking info, that can also be provided.  It is your choice.  Please Note:  Your invoice will automatically be sent with Option #1 as the S&H – with no tracking and at your risk.  IF YOU WOULD PREFER THE OPTION #2 S&H with a tracking number please message me on eBay e-mail and I will send out a revised invoice.  If you want the tracking info DO NOT PAY until I send you the new invoice with the Option #2 S&H adjustment.   Of course, multiple lots can be combined to save shipping costs.  If multiple lots are won, shipping costs will be an extra $1.00 for second lot won, 50c additional for third lot won, and 25c for each additional lot won.    PLEASE NOTE:  If you win multiple lots please wait for my invoice BEFORE you make your payment so I can combine and reduce the shipping costs.  If you pay prior to an invoice being sent lots will not be combined and sent in separate shipments.  I supply good quality stamps at very fair price.  (NOTE:  I’ve had to change my S&H charges because eBay requires more than God does in fees!  I hope you understand.) Please e-mail if you have questions on anything prior to bidding.
