This listing is for one specialized set of two $.10 stamps with Scott numbers 1853 and 1853a, FVF and MNH, as shown. It is the Richard Russell definitive from the first Great Americans issue.
The definitive stamps were issued in panes of 100 with revolving plate markings. The design returned to press in Aug. 1985 with new paper and a larger size tagging block. Definitive varieties are often created with new press runs. Irregular tagging block sizes are common for this issue.
Ten cent Russell stamps paid various makeup rates and other usages in combination with other stamps. All variations of 1853 stamps were withdrawn from sale Dec. 31, 1987 and replaced by 2175 Red Cloud.
At TBR Stamps we use stock images. The actual stamps may be different from this display; however, we guarantee that they will be comparable or better condition or fully refunded. The logos are watermarked into the images to protect our intellectual property. They are not printed on the actual stamps. The black background display mount is not included. For pane singles the straight edge position may vary. For se-tenant blocks/strips the position order will always be exactly as pictured.
Scott order. We always ship sets of stamps in this order (left to right) as pictured and/or stacked (top to bottom).
Stamps, especially coils may have a natural curl. Gummed sheet stamps will often have gum breaker ridges. Self-adhesives will have straight even cuts and margins edges. We consider the liner as a part of any self-adhesive stamp. We never ship short cut, crooked cut, or damaged backing paper.
