Penny Black

 It has taken nearly 4 weeks to get this delivery after I won the bidding on a particular lot.  I have been hanging out to see the quality. There were four albums in the box and if you average out the price per stamp, I paid 18c each for the 1300 stamps but one of them was the World's oldest.  As a used category stamp, the quality is acceptable for my needs. The first stamps had no perforations so you had to cut them. Whoever posted this stamp 181 yar ago, did a reasonable cutting job. It is not squared off but does not veer into the design either. The mint versions of these have astronomic prices over $200,000 each but I am happy with the bragging rights to the ownership of this one.


In my database this registers as stamp No 21144
