Today I started sorting and checking on stamps I had soaked off envelopes just to make sure I had them. Naturally I did not know the Scott number so I went to Google and searched for "united states postage stamp George Washington 1 cent" The search returned a bunch of pics showing the stamp but to my surprise the values were starting at $500.00!!!!! I almost fell out of my chair and as I scrolled down I found some as high as $5000.00!!! I must have missed the message that this stamp was so valuable. The Scott number 804 and not a word about 804 having any special significance.
Just so I am not crazy this is from EBAY www.ebay.com/itm/195809143771?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28&srsltid=AfmBOooFRNeTyi8Vg2nTToF9oyFXNuxAQE_53nXxVzbx44A_xElIKdJqC5w
This had the asking price of $3000.00
Why would this stamp be worth so much. On the URL from a google search there is a pic of the stamps clearly torn from a corner of an envelope that has 3 crumpled stamps for a mere $200.00.
Wow, this tells me not to trust anything from any bay.
