I bought two new singles this morning for my heirloom album. I certainly know that they are far from pristine copies but after-all there is only so much patients dealing with blank spaces in my album! lol {Now the stuff in my binders is the stuff I'm a lot more choosy about.} Anyhow here are my new scores.PS- Both these are the sellers' images. When I get them I'll scan them up properly.Scott #148 US 6¢ carmine-LincolnScott #400A orange

Nice color and centering on the 6c Lincoln. I wonder if the discoloration of the top perfs will come off with soaking?
Do you typically soak your newly acquired used stamps?

It probably will. Yes always unless the obvious mint stamps. I usually end up with decent material after a soak in warm soapy water. If need be then Hydrogen Peroxide but that is a pretty drastic measure and not a first line of defense if you will.

Oh yeah...and this one too... it's a proof of Scott #143P4 N.B.C. printing 30¢ Alexander Hamilton (The National Bank Note Company Printings of 1870-71) on card, hence the P4 suffix.There may have been a few more...lol...Don't tell my wife though...
