United States, Scott #5653, used(o), 2022 definitive coil, Blueberries; the eighth definitive issue on the low value theme of famous American fruits, that began in 2016 with the one cent Pippen Apple; blueberries, in both the wild (lowbush) and cultivated (highbush) varieties, are all native to North America and have been collected for millennia by indigenous peoples and cultivated commercially for hundreds of years; the fruit is related to the European bilberry fruit; the North American blueberry is one of the most nutritious in the modern diet as it contains some of the highest levels of antioxidants of any fruit or vegetable; the issue continues the art work of Massachusetts illustrator John Burgoyne responsible for the renditions on the previous seven issues, 4 cents, offset lithography printed by the Banknote Corporation of America (BCA), issued with non-water soluble self-adhesive gum, serpentine die cut simulated perforations: 10¾ vertical, ‘USPS’ in microprint under the rightmost leaf, issue date 2022 in microprint at lower left, predominately blue and green, Scott Supplemental Catalog Value: 25¢, nicely centered, black-inked, wavy line cancellation over most of the front of the stamp, good perforations, this stamp was soaked from the mailing envelope using the Bestine solvent and placed on a piece of black trimmed card stock for an attractive album mounting; mounting and centering warrants a selling price premium.

Please review my terms of sale. If you are not ordering from the United States, there is a $US1.55 additional postage expense that needs to be added to the price of the stamp. If you are ordering from the United States, there is only a $US0.68 added postage expense. Also, if you make additional purchases from my offerings, they can all go in one mailing at no extra shipping expense for the added purchases. I will send the purchase by US first class mail, since the relatively low value of the stamp does not warrant signature or tracking mail. Hence the buyer assumes risk of loss or non-delivery. I will keep a scan of my mailing to verify that the correct mailing address was used. If not satisfied, return the stamp to me at your own expense, and I will refund the cost, but not my postage to you. If the stamp is not as described, I will refund the cost and reimburse you for postage both ways.
By way of reference, I am an American Philatelic Society member (195176) and an American Stamp Dealers Association (ASDA) member. Thank you for looking, and I hope this is the perfect stamp to fill that gap in your collection.
