United States, Scott #2345, used(o), 1988, Commemorating the Bicentennial of the Ratification of the United States Constitution by the Thirteen Original States, stamps were issued on or about the dates of signing, this stamp is for Virginia who signed on June; stamp shows a horse and carriage in front of the Capitol Building in Williamsburg, the capital of Virginia from 1705 to 1780 when it was moved to Richmond; 25 cents, lithography printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), perforated: 11, multicolored, Scott 2019 Catalog Value: 25¢, very slightly off-centered, double strike cancels, both light, double-rimmed, red-inked, circular, cancels, the main, a half circular cancel on the left half of the stamp and into the main image, and the second, a quarter circular corner cancel in the upper right, the lightness of the cancels leaves the main image largely clear, sound back, clipped corner perforation at the top left, hence discounted, otherwise good perforations; centering and image clear cancel warrants a selling price premium, but clipped perforation calls for an adjustment, so a wash. This is not a 'bait-and-switch;' the stamp you see will be the one you receive.
lease 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. Additional purchases can go in the same mailing with no additional shipping charges 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.
