Looking through my singles today...

Like this poor devil here. It's a Scott #239 mint. It's gum is nearly post office perfect but I really only collect used so it's sort of "homeless" right now. I guess "stamp orphans" would have been a better title huh? It's almost too good for my ragged little band of paper presidents and scenery like this....

I was afraid to peel it at all. It was either bent/creased at one point or in a thread bundle (if your an old timer you might remember tying stamps together with thread- yikes!) but I seen it starting to separate and I could find no mention of it in my then scant library. So there it sits. Maybe I'm unclear in your message? Is it that they only exist on the two and 3 cent stamps or can they exist in other denominations as well? I very well could have just mis-ID' it, but the paper is just so much brighter and thicker than all of the others I've seen it was just an oddity I put aside until later. -now I guess huh? -Jeff

EDIT: we was discussing picassa3 and resolution so I thought I would re-visit this topic as well..

yeah, I think we could probably work something out! PM me. I have my bi-opsy later today but I'll get back to you later on this evening if that's OK? -Jeff

IF? 
Yikes is Correct! I've even seen a few of those bundles, very early ebay, I saw a few lots of those bundles.
The Continental double paper exists on most of the values, the 12 cent and the 90 cent have not been found on double paper. Continental also printed seven of the departmentals on this double paper. The 3c, 24c, & 90c Post Office, the 3c State, the 3c, 10c, and 90c Treasury.

Yeah. I know but Tinman needs it and I thought helping a forum member would be better than any big monetary gain.  I'll scan the back and put it in this thread. 

I really must start paying more attention to my notes...Sadly, it does have a hinge and an adherence (on the lower left) but mint just the same...here's the scan..I'm so sorry I thought this was the one with pristine gum...now I feel really stupid. I usually mark mint with - MINT and then add any notations but this had none...

Please let me know if you are still interested Tinman. I love swaps so I'm sure we can figure something out to both our likings. -Jeff

Stamp: (scan @1200dpi resolution)



The stamps I need (used and need not be in pristine condition just sound will do) is Scott #151, Scott #153, Scott #154, Scott #160 & Scott #165.  Of course not all of them but maybe a combination of a couple of them; just good used examples would tickle my fancy...Again I am very laid back and money isn't why I collect, so filling any gaps in my collection is just exhilarating to me.  Those was just some ideas anyway and not restricted to the banknotes as I have others that I need too. Here are a few- Scott #256, #257, #259, #275, #276, #276A, #277 small Banknotes. Again just a few that I need if it helps any. Here is a few more I need (imperfs) Scott #368, #371, #373.  Also, I only really collect postally used stamps. -Jeff

I haven't got any new PM's just the original one or was that it?

Absolutely the value in 2011 was $240.00 I have the Scott's Specialized 2013 but didn't look. So it is definitely worth $100

I actually might have this figured out as I contacted my church and they are just simply going to re-issue the checks in my Wife's name. It was just heartbreaking to go into town to the bank and have some teller tell me that my picture ID has expired two days prior..I even had the update card but it of course don't have a picture on it...GRRRR It's not like I stop being me because a date on my ID card expired you know?  I have not heard back from them yet though...I hope the respond before I have to go see mt doc.

I must apologize for venting but I have a lot on my plate and it isn't fair to "dump" on you good folk. I'll keep my thoughts to myself or at least in the correct posting section from now on. Very respectfully -Jeff

I live in a small town but I'm not from here so they have to be skeptical I suppose? I even had my update card but it just didn't have m picture on it? I even showed them my voter registration card which is also a VALID form of ID...so (insert expletive here) frustrated!! I hate Clearfield Pa.

Isn't what the internet is for? To offer us more choices, and bring the world to our monitors.

Chequing is becoming phased out in banking now, Jeff.
Electronic banking is the go, smooth as silk, and one can do it from the comfort of your stamp desk.

Very similar thing happened years ago.I was seventeen and doing a lot of out of town work with small crew running jack hammers and such.We were working around 100 miles from home with fresh pay checks in our pockets.Lunchtime came and we headed to the bank that refused to cash our checks.I had an Iowa farm boy on my crew that was probably one of the biggest boys you ever saw.I managed to get in to see the branch manager who started out telling us NO.My muscle man came over and towered behind me and suddenly the manager changed his mind.We got our lunch.

So did Tin Man ever buy that 239 from you?  I only collect US.       Mint only after 1900, and cancelled or mint 19th century.  I buy and sell in various locations on the internet.   Thanks,  Rich James

On a side note I updated my drivers license and started a local account. That issue = solved!
