Your Stamp of the Day

My stamp of the day features Scott #888, Frederick Remington, issued 1940. PSE Gem 100.

 

A very talented artist!. I had a chance to see many of his bronze sculptures at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City. Nice that you have a perfect 100 copy.

 

As you can tell, I have a few that are encapsulated. It's a Gem 100, but above the "AT" in STATES, there is something going on. Didn't see it until I scanned it in high resolution. Still like it though.

 

Not very based on what it cost me. There are 309 graded by PSE with 19 making the Gem 100, Original Gum, Never Hinged designation. Set me back $85.00.

 

My stamp of the day today is this Scott #887, Daniel Chester French, issued 1940. PSE Gem 100.

 

My stamp of the day is this Scott #620 from 1925. The "Norse American-Centennial".

 

My stamp of the day is this Lexington-Concord issue, "Birth of Liberty", Scott #618.

 

My stamp of the day is the Private Die Match stamp from the San Francisco Match Company.

 

That's a beauty. I'm partial to blue anyway.

 

Yes, I love that stamp too, but unfortunately I don't own it. One of these days I'll fork out the money to buy one at auction.

 

My stamp of the day is this Scott #611, a President Harding Memorial issue.

 

My stamp of the day is a Scott #555 depicting Lincoln. Heavily cancelled in San Francisco, Ca. Anyone know what the 3 letters in from of "San" are? The first & third letters appear to be "S" and "O" respectively. Can't make out the second letter.

 

It's a nice precancel you have there. What I see there is a rolling precancel that went across the whole sheet of stamps, slightly misregistered with respect to centering. So what you are seeing is the "sco" from "San Francisco".

 

That makes sense. It didn't occur to me that I was seeing the last 3 letters of "Francisco". Thanks.

 

I like this Scott 537 "Victory" stamp. Not very colorful but has a lot going on.
